A Mad Man's Dream

Oh such pathetic dreams I hold.
It's sad really to even consider them possible.
Oh but one, one dream stands out,
Not only in it's outlandish nature,
But even thinking it makes me twisted and sick.
But I just can't help it.
The desire I have to fulfill this impossible fantasy,
Is more so than a man who has been taken away from his drug,
And pits him mad digging his flesh in hopes of one more high.
This one urge has driven me to the limits of insanity,
I have killed my mind in order to escape it's limits.
Limits that would have kept me from my current state.
It's a sicking thing to even think of,
Oh, if only those could see inside,
See what dismal and hopeless dream this self proclaimed "Child of the Mother God" has, and would do anything for.
So what is it you may ask,
What is this secret dream that although few know,
Laughed it off thinking I was making a clever fucking joke,
What is this thought, that corrupts me?
What is this goal that makes me so odd?
What is this morbid thought that I can never see?
What is this sickness that has me flawed?
What is this heresy stricken reverie?
Well my friends.... I simply wish to be God.
