delusions

E.J.M.

i spend my time of day

thinking about things that will never actually go my way

they are nice to think about

because in my thoughts

anything can work out for me

in these thoughts

the person i like is in love with me

i do good in school

people in books can be real

and i never have to worry about my life going the wrong way

delusions

is what i think people call them

they define them as holding false beliefs

about the external reality

despite all the facts

that support the contrary

while being delusional isn’t about dreaming of something real

i think it’s still lovely to envision them

for who wants to think about straight reality and nothing else?

reality is filled with horrors

so let yourself dream a little

and be what they label as ‘delusional’
