Speravi

Things that you will never do
Stand equal to each other,
The grand goals and the humble.

You don’t ever have to choose
Between the things you can’t,
But you never really chose,

So why not keep pretending
You’re selecting, or at least
Dreaming, among your futures?

Your motto may no longer
Be supra spem spero, but
You had always liked to hope.

Pretend to pretend until
Unfulfilled future’s fulfilled.
