HOPE

Hope lives where despair has invaded

It lurks in the corners of our trials

Silently basking in all its glory

For only hope knows when you need a smile

No sense in fighting it, time to succumb

Let go of discontentment 

So hope can make a new home

No sense in grieving the loss of wills

Let go of jealousy 

So hope can rebuild

If you fall off the wagon, get back up

Learn from short comings

When they say how high, you'll know when to jump

No sense in shedding another tear

Dry your eyes

So hope can reappear

You may feel lonely, but don't believe the lies

Hope has never left you, 

In order to find it, simply open your eyes
