Hope is Stronger than Fear
May Prompt: [The Hope Jar]
You’re the best thing that happened to me
But I don’t deserve nice things
Fear of abandonment has made
Me an ice queen, ghosting
At the slightest crossing of boundaries
Which I never set on time
Shying away from conflict
Silence speaks for me
Loneliness is familiar
Company is danger
Only a matter of time
Before I lose my next best friend
Marking you as an anomaly
Proving time and again
That you’re here to stay
Hope reassures — you’ll never leave me
