Hope Is Not a Bird, Emily, It’s a Sewer Rat
by Caitlin Seida [In response to Emily Dickinson]
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.

"You are under no obligation to deepen a relationship you're not particularly into-- even if they are nice to you, & even if that's a huge contrast to what you grew up with.
You still get to have preferences & standards. You still get to want what you want-- to be picky." - Dr. Glenn Patrick Doyle

You still get to have preferences & standards. You still get to want what you want…
