The light of hope
Ever feel like your trapped
In a bottomless hole so deep
but yet comfortable to your new surrounding
familiar with the dark walls
and the ordinary smell
that become your only companions
you're startled one day by the sudden change
It's all new and bright
confusing and foreign
there's a light above you
So you cover your eyes
afraid that this new light is something different
afraid of the unknown it may bring with it
but through your squinting eyes you notice
that this strange glow is not what you feared at all
but a new found hope to save you from your despair
you reach for it and it pulls you near
closer to freedom and life and happines
These foreign concepts that you have only dreamed about
you're out of the hole
Free from the darkness that it possessed
free from the pain it obtained
Unaware of the hopeful light around you
shining Brighter because its happy
happy you've found it
happy you're free
dimming down so your tired eyes can see through
Through the light to reveal the other people
covered in dirt from their own holes
free from their own dejection
but brought together by the light
the light of hope.
