Hope/full in CoDA

 

 

I've been on the ledge

of hope/less

and it's a grand sight to those who are fearless.

I am not completely fearless or fear/less

but, for what I know hopeless is not entirely me.

 

 

This is because I still have hope things will work out,

I hope that in time

I will (slowly) make things better.

The /less part is that part that feels insurmountable.

The /less part of hope/less is the pain and regret

for making mistakes in the first place.

So I go on

because I don't have to be on a ledge

(of feeling hope/less).

I need to walk away from where hope

is not found and,

keep moving to find what is lost

because if it's not there-- it's not there.

What I need right now is to

fly blindly in the direction of hope

where a light shines and where people say "hello."
