Hope

When all about us is black with gloom

and all we feel is pending doom

our bones are racked with from despair

when every breath is a gasp for air

keep on going, though we need to grope

for around the bend is a ray of hope

A ray of hope is perhaps all that's left

as we will to live has been bereft

we have lost it all it is just no use

we can end it all we need no excuse

but throw away that piece of rope

and give ourselves a chance of hope

Just give ourselves another day

brushing aside what our thoughts may say

this is our life and make a new start

by ignoring the brain and follow the heart

taking baby steps in order to cope up

and minute by minute we build on our hope

Build on our hope one day at a time

though the road be steep and hard to climb

the hurts of the past they should be dead

the fears of future are all in our head

just live in the present and refuse to mope

our life will sparkle for our living in hope

I am not afraid to try again,

I am just afraid of getting hurt

for the same reason...
