It may not help, but I do enjoy this poem by Caitlin Seida:

Hope Is Not a Bird, Emily, It’s a Sewer Rat

  • Hope is not the thing with feathers
  • That comes home to roost
  • When you need it most.
  • Hope is an ugly thing
  • With teeth and claws and
  • Patchy fur that's seen some shit.
  • It's what thrives in the discards
  • And survives in the ugliest parts of our world,
  • Able to find a way to go on
  • When nothing else can even find a way in.
  • It's the gritty, nasty little carrier of such
  • diseases as
  • optimism, persistence,
  • Perseverance and joy,
  • Transmissible as it drags its tail across
  • your path
  • and
  • bites you in the ass.
  • Hope is not some delicate, beautiful bird,
  • Emily.
  • It's a lowly little sewer rat
  • That snorts pesticides like they were
  • Lines of coke and still
  • Shows up on time to work the next day
  • Looking no worse for wear.#
