Delusion of Granduer

That person is thinking about me They probably think I'm a Movie Star I get that a lot Is their Heart pumping fast? Perhaps it's skipped a beat If I said hello it would really make their day I have always had a strange power over people It must be the way I carry myself Some people are just born this way Natural leaders I know they will be talking about me Wondering about my life The people I have met The places I have been It's like they have magically seen my future It is only a matter of time They will not soon forget this day Should I tell them my name? No, why should I spoil the surprise This moment will stay in their minds eye They will tell their children of this day Of course I will not think of them again I will walk in new rooms and eyes will turn my direction They will not be dissapointed I will let them taste my dreams They will live their dreams through me They will want to be me It is just a matter of time The whole world will one day chant my name I look forward to that day My gift will be their gift It's just a matter of time I grew up expecting great things from my Father and instead of doing them he lived in his perpetual fantasy World.

Quite the unique perspective and how you approached it. Because of my summertime job (which is kind hard to go into detail over a comment) I get recognized in my town quite a bit... it's flattering and makes me feel special, but at the same times puts pressure on me to live in THEIR image of me... but I really gotta ask myself... who do I wanna be? How much time is wasted thinking about what others expect of you when you could have been finding yourself in that time? This poem IS grandeur...

We have to be careful not to give ourselves to much credit. What ever gifts we possess come from God so what can any of us really take credit for?

I am quite sure I would not want everyone looking at me and talking about me.
