Day Dream

If I day dream does that make me delusional?

Because I will often think of the bad outcomes too.

Not just the fairy tales

But if I let myself imagine how things could turn out

And feel warmth from made up scenarios

Would you call me a fool?

When I wake up from a dream I won’t remember

But a day dream is a wish I keep in my heart

My wishes don’t come true

But for each one I lose, I gain another

I’ll collect them, like fireflies in a jar

And come to them when I need a glimmer

Of something warm and inviting

If I let them go

If I stopped day dreaming

Would you call me a fool?
