Hope

This one is for a struggling soul,

Whose life is in turmoil and out of control.

Your pain has built up to an unbearable height. 

This battle has claimed your spirit and might.

Your journey in life keeps throwing you curves.

You feel the inner turmoil as your body swerves.

Times are so hard, tears you may shed,

Longing for a place to rest your weary head.

You look at the world with tired eyes,

and plead for someone, anyone, to hear your cries.

6 billion people out there but nobody knows,

Your suffering inside because no pain shows.

Against yourself, you rage a war,

searching for the comfort of something more.

You are all alone, reinforcements you cannot call.

You are ready to give up and take the fall.

There is no other option, no sense of hope.

There is no way out, no way to cope.

You don't understand why this is you,

And sometimes you just wish that somebody knew.

Why does life have to be so hard?

Why did it deal you such a terrible card?

The answers to these we may never know,

But I'm begging you to let your feelings show.

If someone can help, please don't wait.

Don't stop to think, don't hesitate.

Someone is there for you always, I know.

I've been there myself, alone you cannot go.

There is always somebody, a willing friend.

So reach for their hand, they'll be with you until the end.

Go out and accomplish your dreams,

Though at times it may be impossible it seems.

There are so many things you still need to do.

The hope is alive, and found in you.
