Wanting No Hope

We are fascinated with the unknown

Yet scared because nothing is set in stone

And that is why we hope

So that with this mystery we can cope
Hope is an intricate concept

Used to believe in a positive prospect

But I do not want to hope anymore

Because it involves something you long for

It is a wish that has not been granted yet

Expectations that you want to be met

Or wanting to achieve a certain goal

Hope comes when things seem out of your control

It arrives when there is a certain dissatisfaction

So we hold on to this odd kind of abstraction

But it is hope I wish I did not need

A life without hope being in the lead

Because I want to be content

With the life I have spent

And I hear the irony when I say

I hope I can stop hoping one day
