Hi everybody. I've hit a bit of a financial situation and need to raise extra funds. SO for the first time in a very long time, I am opening up my song commissions! You can commission through Ko-fi. I do a variety of styles and will write about any topic! Starts at $50!

![17. Hope Is Not A Bird, Emily, It's a Sewer Rat [uploader's note: by Caitlin Seida]
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 classes 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.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vm7gxmjt6xbvr75jz7gqbmfr/bafkreih4lt2zi6iyeoulnkv3pd3ez3eslv5nz56embrnimcdzzbgo2qcqu)
