we used to be dreamers.

stop dreaming, they say.
dreams are for the weak.
they hold no realistic value.
there is no place for dreamers in this world.
stop loving, they say.
love is not realistic,
love is for the weak.
love is a string of broken relationships,
of exposed vulnerability,
that leaves you looking like a fool.
i am a fool.
stop hopeing, they say.
hope is merely faith.
and faith is based on something
that we only believe in.
it's not for sure, they say.
so give up.
they say it's foolish, that idea of faith.
get real, they say.
they say you can't love untill it hurts.
beucase it always hurts.
and in the end you can't stop loving.

i know it wont' make much of a difference to you, but i love this, it makes me feel a lot of hope. realizing that i'm not the only one feeling the world bearing down on my shoulders and breathing down on my neck, telling me to stop loving, hopeing and dreaming.
