I open my hand
\nAllowing the world to spill out
\nOnto the ground
\nIn shards of brokenness
\nAnd heartache
\nBitterness
\nAnd self-deprecating antics-<\/p>\n
Some say there\u2019s always hope
\nBut some things aren\u2019t worth hoping for
\nSo,I carry on. <\/p>\n
I open the other hand
\nAnd welcome the beauty of life
\nIt spills over and I cup my hand
\nUnder the faucet
\nRunning fast before it slips down the drain
\nOf love
\nAnd a future.<\/p>\n
I can say there\u2019s always hope
\nBut some things aren\u2019t worth hoping for
\nSo, I carry on
\nAnd continue hoping anyway. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
