My Favorite Grandiose Delusion

its probably not true
im not that important
but it makes me giggle 
and feel happy
my delusion is this
its narciisistic
yes

that some prophet way back predicted i would exist and be extremely important
that wherever i went the people around me would always be on the scen
and the world was hired to protect me
that i was the safest person on the planet
but im just black mailing myself
as if the prophecy about me was torn out of every book
to prove he was accurate
as they spy on me and my life
