False Hope

Sometimes I choose to dwell on false hopes
It gives me courage, gives me strength, gives me life
I choose to hold on imaginary ropes
And I don’t mind if it is a lie

It makes me feel good
It makes me feel right
It makes me feel alive
And it gives me reason to fight

Many would not understand and mock
Would do anything to take it away
Mocks me and think of me as a fool
For in my foolishness will I stay

It may be a folly, but I know what I have
It makes makes me face and survive each day
I will not let go of the hope that I have
For this hope may be false, but it makes me feel okay
