Is assurance born of fantasy real?

Confidently into the room,
a peacock, puffing and popping
all around, disconnected from
reality in a way that only those
most deeply assured of their
awesomeness can be

How spectacular to be so well
appointed with this degree of
satisfied surety, this bounty of self.
One can only imagine the heady
heights, the ecstasy of being,
that is the value of you

While I may remain unconvinced,
I admire your commitment
to the role. It must be exhausting
though, when you abandon
truth and reason, to favour
the pomp of presentation.
