There Can Be Hope

The world can be
a dark
dreary
place
like a pool
of water
black as coal
deep and sticky
grabbing
clawing
at your
flesh
trying
to drag
you down

But
you can shine
fighting
your way out
of the depths
you can
turn the
water
transparent
like gossamer
wings
make it cool
calm
peaceful
you can
make the world
a happy
place
