Delusions of Grandeur


by Angela Souza

I scoff at the
Notion of
Delusions of grandeur
As if to suppose
That we aren't grandiose beings
You may see a cub
But in my heart
I'm a lion
In my head
I'm resplendent
How dare you think
That it's delusional
For me
Not to think
Any less of me?
I wish that
These delusions
Were ubiquitous
That more of us had
The Audacity
To believe
That we are grandiose beings
Who are
Capable of magnificent things
'Til then, let the
"Delusions"
Be.
