A Mirage
A mirage is a fake oasis you think is real when you’re dying of thirst, but when you get there it’s just a bunch of sand and regret.
I thought there was water in the desert, but it was just a mirage and my hope.
I walked for hours thinking there was an oasis, but I just found a pile of rocks.
I got all excited, only to find out there was no water, just my stupidity.
