Delusions of Grandeur



They say hope is the worst of the feelings,

It’s what keeps us hanging on,

This idea that maybe something or someone

Will change the circumstances

And we will feel good or even great again.



Call me a sucker,

Call me a fool,

Call me a dreamer,

Call me a tool.



They say I’m suffering from delusions of grandeur,

But I don’t feel like I’m suffering.

To suffer is to be subject,

Helpless and hopeless,

But I hope more.



My power comes from my hope,

My will to dream,

My dare to ignore

The sadness society wants me to feel.



I am delusional,

In the best way possible.

No longer allowing

The obstacles and challenges

To weigh me down.



I am delusional

Because I believe I deserve

In a society

That tries to bring me down.



I am delusional

Because I know

I am made for greater things.

My purpose, my love, my joy,

I am deserving and worthy.

I am important,

More important that it may seem.

I have a hope that carries me

Through all of life, unseen.
