Around the corner of hope lies
a great big grand surprise.
In darkness idles
the worries inside.
Hold back
for a lack
of confidence.
An unknown treasure
of the greatest measure.
Who can see around
the corner of hope?
We are concave
sits melancholy
punishments of the wall.
“Have I done my time yet?”
“You Bet!”
But I took one for the team
or so it might seem,
and happily embrace
the hit of seeing someone happy
at my expense.
