Ode to Hope

Seeing the light for the first time,

making even the gloomy seem weak.

A fresh breath to those who have been suffereing. 

The desire burning throughout my very soul. 

 

We're taught to see the brighter side of things, to hope. 

But what does hope mean, what is it? 

It's the daybreak you see for the first time. 

When you think for the first time that the world isn't to bad. 

 

It's the feeling in my heart everyday, 

The brightness in my eyes, the skip in my step. 

That's when you see it, the raw emotion shown for the world to see. 

The smile behind all the tears, even when your entire world is falling apart.
