Bouts of Exaggeration
My friend loves to live in a fantasy,
thinking everything revolves around him.
And I never really know what's true;
for in his world, pigs fly, and turkeys swim.
He gilds truth with lies and hyperbole,
upon life's phantasmagorical trip.
And journeys beyond the impossible,
losing reality's tentative grip.
He's "the cup's half-full" type of optimist;
that was born with an indelible smile.
And while he tends to embellish his deeds,
never put his honesty on trial.
He's tethered to his imagination,
thus prone to bouts of exaggeration.
