"Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion" - Jim Rohn

You believe 
you're much taller than 
everyone else 
when you're standing next to me 
on your tippy toes.

It's no secret you weave 
a glittering tapestry of lies 
every so often,
yet you anoint yourself 
as the arbiter of truth.

You still believe 
that your reputation 
is unimpeachable, despite 
your litany of improprieties;
come back to reality!

Some people are self-absorbed--as you have illustrated in this powerful message, my friend.
