Hope Is Like A Coin Poem by Evan Histed

Hope Is Like A Coin



Hope is like a coin,
Anyone can flip it anyone can pray for heads or wish for tails
But whilst it’s in the air
No finger can control it
All breath is held and the decision made
Hope is like a rotten coin
You can wish all you want but you might not get it
Hope is like a snake that bites.
