Despair

don't hope
don't wait
for hope
to arrive
with its
hands tied
behind
its back
don't wait
for waiting
is conceding
to hope
that is
already
too late.

Hope

don't despair
don't let
despair arrive
to bind you
hand and foot
don't run
to hide behind
its back
wait
for hoping
consigns death
to despair,
that is,
before it's
too late.
