I am everything
And nothing
at all

I am the king of my castle
And will be there
When it crumbles
And falls

Even my delusion shaded world
Is more real to me
Then you

In my mind
I am but a god
Bestowing favor
On those I will

Traveling many miles
With blinders
Failing to see road signs
To my cold fate
I slip

Fall fast
And the bottom
I can not find
On this fast disappearing
Grand deluded isle
That was my mind.

Okay, seriously the little mad face you used kind of scared me...almost as if you were demanding someone comment....


I, as usual, find your work fasinating and enjoy it very much.  I like the contradictions...
