You Can’t / I Hope

June 4, 2022
I

You can’t You can’t You can’t Wait. I’ve started in The Middle You’ve Made This Suggestion To Yourself And immediately annihilate it with “You Can’t” —You Won’t —They’ll never — I’ll always Accept defeat!

You Can’t Be a poet, solve that problem, ______________ Mind your temper, be a kind person

You Can’t because you always tell yourself You Can’t

II

I hope I hope I hope Wish For the mystery of maybes You’ve Decided To believe In something Greater So I hope

— You Will — Why Always — Just believe And remember That you are FREE To get published, help the disenfranchised, _____________ Share Love and Give Kindness

I Hope Because, if You Can’t There’s Always Hope
