Delusional Dissolution
I feel as if all claims I made were sham,
and reconstruct how folk indulged pretence,
so I ignored my stunted lack of sense
whilst spurring fantasies of dreamt elan.
I prided my critique of those who swam,
reflex objection to their competence,
before abuse this morphed into offence;
now even I will pain at who I am.
This coarse reflection could tell truths or lies,
now that mind’s mirror and the mind are cracked,
but better use than blinker inward sight.
I tolerate myself, I don’t despise,
so far preamble, void of worth or tact,
but shadow needs a form, and too a light.

pronoun [first person singular]
used by a speaker to refer to himself or herself
I guess I have a poetic licence, posting on DUP, but you seem to be asking into its validity?

no not at all I believe your write to be valid I just wasn't sure... in the first person referring to yourself this is very brave and honest write...

Thanks for applying the adjective honest to my words. It''s a while since I've been so complimented.
