Best Imaginary Me
In a self induced purple haze
Of frenzy and possibility
I tripped across that rubicon
From me to the best imaginary me
And in that extended haze
I knew I was the chosen one
And that my life has led to this moment
Riches awaited me because of merit
That I imagined I was earning by the hour
Because the best imaginary me is an absolute legend
Confident to a fault
Doesn’t give a fuck what anyone thinks
Sees things that others cannot
Bends the will of the universe toward him
And moves in his own time and space
Now the bridges that I burned
Are smoldering in my sight
Flames still licking toward me
Searing heat blistering parts of my skin
Making me wonder if this what I really wanted
I am not the best imaginary me
Though I am learning that
I need his help
To keep the real me
From forgetting the power I can wield
If even a fraction of the best imaginary me
Is actually real
Then I will be just fine
Once the flames have been extinguished
And the scars of my burns start to heal
Grace will begin it return
I will rise again
Living the rest of my days
Happy
