Delusions.

I dreamt of delusions

That sufficed my ideologies

Of who I was

What my life would be

How I'd look in the mirror

The reality of today appears

Somewhat different

From where I'm standing

In these size five feet

That haven't grown an inch

Since I was fifteen.

I still dream of delusions

That suffice my ideologies

Of who I am

What my life will be.

◄ You'll.

As Sure as Eggs are Eggs. ►

I think this is great. It highlights a profound idea, with calculated brevity and a pointed wrap-around repetition for superb emphasis on 'hope forever' or 'sheer idiocy', whichever the reader chooses.

I dreamt of delusions sometimes myself still and I am older than I will admit... I think we all do to some degree when we are 15..

I loved this.. nicely structured, chuck.. x
