SteemitPoetryContest #8 - Illusions

in #poetrycontest8 years ago (edited)

I am rich, even wealthy, but I deserve much more.
Who is that that’s been knocking on my little door?
I am smart, brilliant, a genius in my own right.
I’ll open the door, or they’ll knock on it all night.
--
I’m quick, so fast, no one will ever catch this man.
I’ll make it to that door faster than anyone can.
I’m great, so strong, the most powerful man around.
I must open my door before they break it down.
--
I am their king, their ruler, they kneel at my feet.
I’m opening the door, my subjects you will meet.
I live here in this hospital, room three one four,
a great magician with illusions of grandeur.

I like this GIF, full of maining

Yeah. There were 2 or 3 of them to use, but this one looked the best to me.

You amaze me with your words every time!

Thanks. I was a bit skeptical of this poem. It took a while to get it to where it sounded right. I'm still not too sure, but I'm glad you like it.

Good one man. Pleasurable read.

Thanks. I wanted to put a different twist on the story. I'm not 100% positive of the content, but it seems that I am a minority in that. Most people seem to like it.

One of my professors told me never to be satisfied with where you are because the day you do is the day you stop improving.
