Self Deception

Self Deception

A Poem by The Lady Anasteja
"

Daily Mind Screw

"

I know it's not good for me-

yet i play it on repeat

 

I have been known to stand ground

yet lately I float towards the clouds

 

I am a warrior

yet i cower

against myself

 

I know right from wrong

yet fantasy prevails

while reality staggers

 

I walk my line spewing deceit

my vision created

my aspiring heart imploring reliance

 

I am the bearer of delusion

subdued under my own imagination

We are all one to live in delusion from time to time against our own advice. You tell yourself to be strong but cannot help but be weak. Live out fantasies that have very little or no chance at all of coming to fruition. However, that still doesn't make one weak in my opinion. Dreaming is necessary as long as you don't live in the fiction. Well done.

Ego. Central Theme played out in the piece. Different side in talking about the ego. Usually people explain how it is troubling them but you write how its excepting. Coollll! lol

This piece really hit home. This is so powerful and it's all described so well.

"I am the bearer of delusion
subdued under my own imagination" - Aren't we all? This line is classic.

Unbelievable how much our worst enemy is ourselves. Nice write.

I feel the flow is off some how. When I read this, I went one way and then it stopped and then I went another way, but I do have to say the message of this poem (for me) was a strong one. I could identify with this piece because often times, I am a coward of myself as well. Nicely done.

Wow! this is great! I loved the complexity in it, so dark and vivid.
"I am a warrior
yet i cower
against myself" - This is ironically so strong and I firmly believe that it is a very honest piece of writing..
Very well written, Great work!

Sometimes we allow ourselves to be "deceived" in a weak moment, or because its a day when we just don't feel like fighting. I really, really love this one. Great job.

if you can write in detail on how you deceive yourself, are you engaging self deception? i always wondered that...i suppose you could. but more importantly, the honesty in your poem is commendable and should be an example to others (even if you weren't writing about yourself here). thanks for sharing!
