Hope: Not Dope

The way forward is never straight So you must be strong enough to be great The battle still goes on; you’re not late So you must make a move; don’t wait Everyone was born to be a spinner It only takes time to be a winner Every means surely gets thinner It takes endurance to have a dinner The battle is not for the paramount Everyone adds up to the final amount You must stand a part in this count The cost of the crown never favors a discount I have admitted the fight is never stress-free That’s why to give up, I’d always disagree I have faith and it endures my living hope That’s why I’d favor my hope to never dope At the tails of the ancient characteristic rope We keep joining the head of the new rope So we fear not the wicked, we don’t dope We stand to fight and win as we always hope

This reminded me of a saying I heard many times while I was in rehab. Instead of "hopeless dope fiend", we would say "dopeless hope fiend". Enjoyed your poem :)
