Hope is fragile hope is frail My hope has aged within years of betrayal Praying for a longer shelf-life than expected Despite the cracks glued together with worn edges Through hail storm and fire burn Somehow my hope has survived Despite being tossed around And thrown from way up high One night a proud display The next evening packaged up and boxed away Hope so strong it used to be worth every penny Now it's torn clean up Now I'm lucky to find any So I'm sending my hope off to be restored Maybe another's hands can make it shine Just like before But for now I go without And I'm placed with petrifying doubt Weather hope will be there for me Once more. "Fragile Hope" -Jp

Fragile Hope
Hope is fragile hope is frail My hope has aged within years of betrayal Praying for a longer shelf-life than expected Despite the cracks glued together with worn edges Through hail storm and fire burn Somehow my hope has survived Despite being tossed around And thrown from way up high One night a proud display The next evening packaged up and boxed away Hope so strong it used to be worth every penny Now it's torn clean up Now I'm lucky to find any So I'm sending my hope off to be restored Maybe another's hands can make it shine Just like before But for now I go without And I'm placed with petrifying doubt Weather hope will be there for me Once more. "Fragile Hope" -Jp
