I’ll tell you the truth
About a girl named Hope
Who’ll barge in unannounced
Then bounce
Unprovoked

She lights up the room
Makes everyone smile
Can make a grand promise
Feel modest
In style

Then, gone in a flash
But if something comes true
Races back to take credit
”I did that
For you.”

She makes me so angry—
Countless lies that I’ve heard—

But sometimes she’s right

So I trust every word.
