Reality Be Damned

A poem about delusion

Let me drink in

my delicious lies 

until I drown out 

the resounding mediocrity 

of my life 

and fall, 

fantastically intoxicated   

into a puddle

of my own self-importance.

Author's Note

What do you think? Does it work? How could it be better?

Intoxication with self-importance and fighting it is the essence of humility. Who can be a better critic of your ego other than yourself? You've earned my respect for containing your own ego before others do it for you!

...it works for me... love "the resounding mediocrity"!

[Gee]

Love this. Have met so many people on my life's journey who live their lives in a deluded bubble
