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.
