Hope

“Staring into space” that’s what she did

When life started treating her like shit

Taking refuge beneath what she called a “deep black hole”

She allowed the darkness to cave in and swallow her; body and soul

Believe me, pain after pain is traumatic 

But everyone thought her to be “too dramatic”

She ignored them, why must she care?

After all, we all know life isn’t fair

Time went on in indecent haste

And so did her sanity; as she thought she’s a waste

But she couldn’t deny nor did she admit it

The tiny flicker of “hope”..yeah that’s the word for it!

Mistakes after mistakes, that’s what she did

She knew it was wrong; she was no kid

But life isn’t over she thought; she could correct them all 

That’s what “hope” does, it makes you positive and whole

‘Twas a feeling so overwhelming 

Consumed her with much longing 

She embraced it with open arms

Lest it should disappear; there’ll be harm

Wallowing in self-pity was never her thing

Resented “gaining sympathy” from deep within

But now that she stumbled upon the feeling; “hope”

She realized that pain isn’t ever permanent, nope.

After all this time she still wonders

Why’d she let the “darkness” swallow her whole

But now she knows, and from this, she gathers

That there’s still “hope” for us after all!
