Delusions of grandeur

I know i am not grand

And yet

I have enough streaks of brilliance

To give me delusions of grandeur

Enough

For me to lose myself

In reveries

Of bliss

Of conquering the world

Of extravagance

Of wild fantasies come true

I know they will not come true

And yet

I do not take them for granted

I know what it is to be

Without delusions

I know what it is like

When your mirror

Throws your reveries back at you

And tells you you are not worthy

And the worst part is that

Your very soul withers

Because the mirror has it convinced

No,

I do not take these delusions for granted

Today my soul tells me

That no matter what the world gives me

I deserve everything 

My dreams hold
