The Poems And Confessions Of A Mad Man Read online

  If someone delusional believes in something that doesn’t truly exist, then to some extent we are all delusional. The doctor who grew up in the ghetto or the scientist who found another planet that wasn’t suppose to exist, may have been delusional to the people who didn’t have the vision that they had. Many of the ghetto doctor’s family members may have said that he or she was delusional or living in a dream world because the child didn’t know the difference between reality and fiction when the child said it wanted to become a doctor. The scientist that believed and saw a new planet in his mind, was laughed at and accused of seeing to many Star Wars movies, but when a new space discovery was found, the other scientists’ try to kiss the discoverer’s ass and say that they believed in the vision the whole time.

  I was told that I would become nothing by some influential people in my life, and to believe that I would someday write a book that would become a best seller, would be the biggest delusional dream that I could ever hope for. Well I did write a best seller, so those who thought that I was delusional can stick your opinions’ in your ass. If there were never any delusional people within the world, then we would not have airplanes or computers. We would still be riding on horses and think that the world is flat. If you don’t have the balls to make your delusions become reality, then don’t cut down the people who do.

  If you think your imagination was given to you for your own pleasure then you are the delusional one. We all have the ability to make our delusions become a reality if we would only start to make them happen before we told others about them. Far too many of us talk about our dreams and the things we want to do but never end up doing anything we dream of. Then on our death bed when our minds are being lost, we talk of our dreams that have been trapped within us for 70 years, and we never did anything with those dreams. Those dreams have been within us for so long that we will believe that they have become factual events, while the others around us may say that we are just delusional.

  I have chosen to call this book a book of fiction because if what I have written was believed to be a fact, then I would be prosecuted by the law, so I will lie and say that it is all fiction. Maybe none of the stories that you have just read are true. They may all be just the stories of a delusional or mad man. But if within my mind, all of what I have written has taken place, then how can anyone say that none of this happened when they are factual events to me? Maybe I live in a delusional world, but in my delusional world of reality, nothing is fiction.
