hoping for the best

:: image source ::

There are so many false things in this world,

false people, hopes, words.

We're tired of being let down

by the things that shouldn't  matter,

but do anyway.

Because we are idealists

who wish for things to be true,

though truth is the farthest thing we've known.

And the hoping never ceases,

no matter the disappointments

or the buzzing swarm of lies

that fill our heads with disbelief.

We stay cynically hoping for the best.

Because  that's what it means to be a 

dreamer.
