hope is a weapon / hope is a skill
hope is a plant you can care for or kill
hope is a discipline / something you choose
hard to stop looking for / easy to lose
hope isn’t something to have or to take
if you can’t find it it’s something you make
make it from willpower make it from spite
learn how to weaponize love in a fight
hope is a shield and a thing to defend
end in itself and a means to an end
