Who am I?

April 2018

I am the ever hopeful dreamer, caught in between extra and ordinary.

I wonder what my future has in store for me.

I hear all the voices in my head arguing over which path to take.

I see myself choosing the wrong one over and over again, for goodness sake.

I want to know where I belong, but feel divided between three homes.

I am the ever hopeful dreamer, caught in between extra and ordinary.

I pretend everything is going to be okay, that I know what I am doing.

I feel that if I tell myself this enough, it will come true.

I touch the lives of so many yet there is so little I can do.

I worry that I am useless, not enough or that I can never change.

I cry just about every time my Papa falls in the middle of the night.

I am the ever hopeful dreamer, caught in between extra and ordinary.

I understand all too well that life can be cut short by the sharp knife of reality.

I say let's live life to the fullest and hopefully make a difference.

I dream of the day where I can save children from going through what I experienced.

I try to go beyond my comfort zone, making new friends at work and learning how to speak to others.

I hope to continue growing as a person, inside and out and fulfill my dreams – both realistic and unrealistic.

I am the ever hopeful dreamer, caught in between extra and ordinary.
