The Problem with Hope

Shiny new hope sucks. Because it inevitably gets kinda dull and rusty and one day just plain old breaks. And there you are, sitting on the floor crying because it will not come back. What’s worse is the next time you see shiny new hope you eye suspiciously with sidelong glances. After several rounds with shiny new hope you might start barring the door to it or opening an umbrella against it as it descends. Maybe you resort to running from it like it’s a large black dog and you are wearing a fire hydrant costume. Yep… shiny new hope…. I’ve got my eye on you.
