Recklessly Hopeful

Picture a man caught between two worlds. Both real, only one holds promise. Picture a man with full rights to the promised world - one hand rooted solidly on the promise, one hand slipping from the real world. The worlds are moving apart and the man is caught in the void between them, slowly being torn apart. One is real and easy. One is full of promise and the dream this man has sacrificed all for.

There is no certainty in this picture. He does not fit in the real world, nor do the inhabitants of the real world understand his strange existence. They get a normal life, moving ahead, gaining, enjoying independence. But this man strangely waits for the promise.

In the real world he's a picture of shame, foolishness, embarrassment. In the promise he's seen as recklessly hopeful. He doesn't know what to feel, but chooses still to wait.

Only one world holds promise.
