The Answer

A small ray of hope

But no promises pending

I'm not going to get my hopes up

As long as doubt is left contending.

I know I can live with any answer

And survive well enough

No, I'll succeed and conquer

And thrive no matter how tough

I know who to put my faith in

And it's no one here on Earth

The people here are unreliable

The world is ready for rebirth

But before I go all holy

I'll reassure you that I'm not

I'm hardly ever right, you know

I can weave a pretty complex plot

I'm imperfect and flawed

Just like every other human

I lie and cheat and covet

I almost always lack acumen

But now I'm straying from my subject

That I originally began

What I'm trying to say is hard

I won't even pretend I understand

I do not believe in coincidences

Even thought you may think that's strange

I think everything happens for a reason

And everything's subject to change.

I hate not knowing what's ahead

Or what will occur tomorrow

And that's what crazes me most

Anyone have patience I can borrow?

But I must find a way

To calm myself way down

And just trust that in time

We'll find some common ground

For now I'll be content

To wait in anxious composure

Yes I'm aware that's an oxymoron

And that's my attempt at closure
