Hope

A curse and a blessing. Our choice

Hope.
A curse upon humanity,
and a blessing all the same.
I hope just as all others do.
For a brighter future.
Success in college.
Success in career.
Success in life.
I hope for many other things as well.
For adventures and mysteries,
in this life and the next.
To not be trapped in despair,
as so many others are.
To be able to journey, far and wide.
Across the seas,
to the highest peaks and the lowest valleys.
To go beyond the sky,
and below the seas.
I hope just as all others do.
Maybe for different things.
Maybe for the same.
But I hope just as all others do.
Embracing my curse,
and my blessing.
I hope others can embrace theirs too,
just as I do.

Thank you for this. I enjoyed this. There is a maturity to it that belies the implication of your age.
A blessing and a curse - yes, you've hit it square on. You've appeared to accept the curse of hoping. As so many of us do. I do, as well. Hope is that quarrelsome blend of our ability to anticipate and our enduring capacity to deny our reality. So long as there may be even the slightest of a chance of our grasping what we desire, we will continue to be tolerant our present want, deny our current reality and anticipate something better. It is what keeps us going, though. Our blessing and our curse.
Very nice.
