Hope is a...

He said "Hope is a scheme"

These words inspired a scream

From a song that's sorta punk

The days, one may have spent drunk

He said "Hope is a beggar"

This was was an old pegger

But I've been curiously receptive

Defining hope and it's deceptives 

'Cz lately, Hope has been playing

And without my permission, staying

It has been taxing all my bones

Sitting high, on my lovers' throne

When and where he couldn't be found

Hope stood tall,  holding the ground

Hope's been lately, quite the caller

Summoning my mind, my soul, my valor

But I don't know if hope, is a real show

A dreamer after all! What do I know!

And maybe just because, I can dream

Hope likes to sail on my peaceful stream

Causing ripples, I didn't allow at all

Until one of us falls, an illustrious fall

Hope has been messing my love and me

In peaceful dreams and in the reality 

I hope to understand hope, and it's chores

So one day hope and I, won't fight anymore.
