Hope Springs Eternal


I want to cry
But the tears won't
Come

Exile is quite pleasant
If a little dreary

The scars on my arms are healing
I feel like maybe
Ripping them open again

How I appear outwardly is a facade
Of intelligence, kindness,
And humor
Inside I feel like just
Letting it all go

But please don't let go of me
Hope springs eternal
