Words that speak from the heart

Hope

Back and forth
Pulling my legs out of the quicksand
Sink or swim are my options
But why is there only two options
What about Hope
It Is not one choice made in the second
Words are spoken
But is it the truth or is it a lie
I'll give you my hope to get across the bridge
I don't expect you to give me a hand
I am trying to believe in Hoping of getting across
If I run and come a little short
If I don't grab hold of the bridge
I'll fall and drown without a second thought
But a spark of hope
I'll fall and swim back up and do it again
I hope I see the strength others have
I hope I see a better Verizon of me tomorrow
I know things wouldn't change overnight
But I hope things get better
