Disclaimer - Nope, I don't own the Teen Titans…

Author's Note - This is very short, I know, it just popped into my head!

Description - Ever wonder how the heck Raven can control her powers and doesn't let Trigon take over every time she's hurt or mad? Well…

"Hopes & Friends"

Hold onto your hopes

for if you let go

Life is like an injured bird

that easily falls to pain and fear.

But if you have friends

that catch you when you stumble

and keep you on your feet

Even the injured bird can fly again…
