I can not promise you anything will be better tomorrow, 
Because it hasn’t been better in forever.
I can not promise you it will work out, 
because all i can do is try to keep the lights on in my own home. 
I can not promise to fight the enemy, 
because all I see are misguided humans. 
I can not promise that all lives matter 
because we are all tax write offs.
I can not promise you will have allies, 
Because the allies get stoned with those preserving the patriarchy.  
I can not promise you love,
because the people I love wont even talk to me some days, 
I can not promise you the highway will get easier,
Because the construction will always need repairs,
I can not promise my son that he will see the ocean as an old man
Because we spend too much time not even thinking if he will,

I can not promise you much, 
Except I know you are tired. 
Because this life…… this beautiful fucking thing we call life….
Takes every ounce of hope we have left. 
To just see tomorrow. 

But I can promise you this, I hope each one of you do.
