Yay. mice. Millie and Turtle.

Hope

Hope is never enough

When you're facing the real world.

Nothing's going to change if you don't take action,

But sometimes people are helpless,

And there's no action they can take.

When there's nothing you can do,

How are you supposed to go on?

When there's nowhere you can go,

What are you supposed to tell yourself?

Are you going to lie to yourself?

Give yourself false hopes?

Just saying "everything will be okay in the end" is a false hope.

Sometimes, things aren't okay.

So why do we tell ourselves that it's okay?

There's no such thing as hope

Outside of dreams.

Hope itself is a dream

Everyone sees when they sleep.

Hope is a lie.

Hope can't help you.

Being hopeful only means

You hit the ground harder in the end.
