my goal

i contain hope, which is

stronger than despair.

i wont let that hope die

ever, because that is what it wants

and the freedom of death will take me when it pleases

and in death i will rejoice because i never let hope die.

if i walk your compound will you look unto me and call me a fool 

will you write my name in the book of torture and evelasting despair 

because i never let hope die. is this a betrayal that will lead to more pain

will i pay beyond what was betowed on me because i did not let hope die

you see, i know you think we are the same, but you are the root of my conflict

it was you who lead me here, and for that i keep my hope alive in the midst of my own despair.
