Where There is Hope

There is more hope

God's precursor

To disappointment

Softening the blows

Hope is a readying mechanism

It's a broken kite string

It's a cancer ward vibe

It's a Valentine's Day card

From the ugly

To the undeserving

Never let anyone tell you

They hope someday...

Whatever it may be

We've all got something

Don't let them off the hook

Help them off the floor

Hope is the concession of the dazed

It's the inability to accept

That maybe you are fucked

Just because you feel it

Doesn't make it true

I wish you all

The best of luck
