Hope is just an illusion;
It’s a lie we tell ourselves
Day in, day out,
That everything will be
Alright in the end.
But we don’t know
If that will be true.
We don’t know
What the future brings
Nor what it will take.
All we can do is
Take it a day at a time
And “hope” when
They all fit together
In the puzzle of our lives,
They will create
A picture of happiness.
