In His Own Mind

Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.

Winston Churchill 1874-1965

In His Own Mind

Reality is often too hard to face

One can alter who he appears to be

So ordinary life is then replaced

With a life of his own fantasy

Once living in lies becomes his way

Reality is lost in time

The person he is trying to convey

Is just lies and truth combined

If perhaps, the righteous truth

Would try to block his way

He demands that life show him the proof

His false self he will again portray

Those who knew him well agree

He has become one they no longer know

They avoid the person he pretends to be

Without him they chose to go
