#Wordy #myfirstperformance I had such a great time footage from one of my biggest fans #mySister

I like to romanticize the future I like to waste my mind with scenes That are trapped in the realms of fantasy I like to dream up landscapes to become I like to look practicality in the eye and mock it no pity it no surpass it with my chimera of the future I like to believe that happiness and raw self consuming love dwell in this world And I await this future Collecting more and more yesterdays "It will come" I like to lie to myself A time when time is told by stories more than logs A place with heavenly terrain On earthly soil A people where neighbors of humanity Are loving instead of simply understanding Or understanding instead of simply tolerating Or even tolerating instead of simply coexisting At least coexisting instead of fearing Instead of hating and competing I like to romanticize my future Passionately learning with each tomorrow that comes my way Saving the world for a living Raising Nobel Peace Prize children And building them a tree house sanctum with my bare hands Alongside a virtuous Darcy-like man Surrounded by mountains and rivers and all the embellishments of nature Falling in love with the beauty and the beast within and without I like to romanticize the future But the future becomes the past And some dreams don't last As more becomes fact And less is abstract And I'm left to extract The remnants of my stacks My path becomes cracked And I'm just trying to get through it alive But even being alive just means my heart still beats Whether or not I take the time to hear it myself The smoke from factories Dissipates my dreams And the oneness with the trees Left with the Cherokees And woodshop classes are expensive So the treehouse I might as well forget And Mr. Darcy can really only love Elizabeth I like to romanticize the future And I like to laugh at what a foolish romantic I am
