Hopelessly Hopeful

I am hopelessly hopeful

A hapless daydreamer

A believer of things that may not be

Christians call this faith

I am one and I know I am too fearful to have it.

I am what you will call an escapist.

Into the realms of books and movies I bury myself

Only to resurrect when completely necessary.

To say I believe in the average things of the average man is a lie.

My mind is never with me.

Which usually makes me useless, only sometimes.

I am the girl in Coldplay’s Paradise.

I am that girl whose feet is above the earth,

I am the woman who calls herself a girl.

I am that adult who has refused to grow.

For I have not met one person

Who makes me aspire to adulthood.

I am the person who envies the lives led by babies.

I am hopelessly hopeful.  

For things that may be.

I am that person who hopes to relive life as a child. 

Or am I weird?
