False Hope



The feeling of defeat is not easy to deal with,
False Hope is so photogenic
You roll with it because your truth is that it's real
But when you find out the fake you just break down and tear it
You've been here before so you cling to hope
As you hope that this thing will elate you forever, It's making you sad, angry but happy
But you ignore the negativity because "it doesn't matter"  

But truly it matters,
You're just not seeing it
Put your problems in a book
And try to find the different angles,
Search for that perspective,
Become your own detective,
Make your own lectures
And preach them to yourself  

If your emotions were political
Vote for happiness
Don't let the depressions dictate
That's a very impactful mistake.
So elect your happiness and gratefulness and it'll be better
And don't lose to false hope, even though it's photogenic
