Hope

"Her mind is a graveyard, her heart is an island.
She and I aren’t good friends but I’ve knew her all my life.
She sits in my belly hollow and distant, but her whispered words of encouragement will never come for me.
I’m on to her tricks, her false promises.
“Go away” I tell her. I’m busy today. I’ve got things to do.
But this acknowledgment of mine, never knows when to leave.

It’s not a question of why she decided to help me, in the first place.
It’s a question of why I choose to let her stay.”
