Keeping Hope Alive

Days

Cliches and throw aways

Trying to learn better ways

But it’s getting harder to survive

Change

Moments that rearrange

And the only fight that remains

Is called keeping hope alive

Pain and pride

Tears I’ve cried alone

Everyday

We go running on a razorblade

Sewing up the edges frayed

Waiting to arrive

While joy

Is Little Lord Fauntleroy

Sitting in his La-Z-Boy

Keeping hope alive

Pride and pain

Cloud my brain

Wait for change

Moments that rearrange

And the biggest fight that reigns

Is called keeping hope alive.
