Hope
We talked long into the night
Is it hope?
That ushers in disappointment
Unrealistic expectations
Is it hope?
That ushers in disappointment
Unrealistic expectations
I will make a note to myself
To delete hope
I will walk through fire
Not because “I hope” I can
To delete hope
I will walk through fire
Not because “I hope” I can
Instead, because I can…
As soon as I make this declaration
I catch myself “hoping” again
Always hoping things will be better
As soon as I make this declaration
I catch myself “hoping” again
Always hoping things will be better
Truth is sometimes lost
In a sea of lies
Spouted by a “liar and chief”
His words corrupt
In a sea of lies
Spouted by a “liar and chief”
His words corrupt
He is smug
Mocks everyone
He was born for the role
A man of destiny
Mocks everyone
He was born for the role
A man of destiny
I will send a memo
To myself
To remember
To forget “hope”
To myself
To remember
To forget “hope”

One certainly can feel that way, when contemplating the global news. I find it hard to hold onto hope, yet know I must.........I resonate with "I will walk through the fire not because 'I hope" I can, but because I can." Such strength.
It's hard to hold onto hope these days but we musn't give up!
Strong poem, Annell!
