Hope
It's growing inside me like a tumor.
Expanding its cells; rapidly, endlessly multiplying
Like a starved college student consumer
It eats away at healthy tissue, deadly modifying
What was once good into something unrecognizable
But no, the doctor's won't hear a peep out of me
Even if I know it's inadvisable,
it keeps growing, growing-and I let it be.
I'm scared of what I already know
Even though I had the answer ages ago.
I think this is the end
The hope continues to pretend.
