Living on a Hope

Hope, dreams and reality

Living on a Hope

            There are dreams we all have. Ones we cling to without reason. Ones that fill our subconscious, that we hold onto even knowing they’re far-fetched and not going to happen.

            I think we hold on to these unrealistic ideals because we can see the exceptions. The ones who against all odds and reason, made it and got their dream. And this gives the everyday people unprecedented hope. And people run on hope. It fuels their every thought and every action �" because you begin to believe you could be bigger than just yourself, than just 1 in 7 billion.

            I live on hope. Hope that the future will bring happiness. To be fulfilled, to feel bigger than a single grain of sand in the ocean. To feel like you matter in the world, even if it means only being so to one person.

            But I’m scared. I know the odds. I know I probably wont be the exception, so I don’t try to be. But now I’m not happy. I feel like a part of me has been shut off, that I’m broken and lacking. So I want hope, enough to stop being scared. But I’m too cautious. Too broken. Too stuck.

A very good poem. I liked the thoughts and journey shared.
" I live on hope. Hope that the future will bring happiness. To be fulfilled, to feel bigger than a single grain of sand in the ocean. To feel like you matter in the world, even if it means only being so to one person."
The above line is good logic and worthwhile place to know. Sometime we must accomplish life deeds alone. Thank you Madison for sharing the excellent poetry.
