Hope

Hope

​​​​​​Have you ever felt trapped behind metal bars, 
Or watched all your cuts turn to scars? 
Have you tried to escape the pain in your soul, 
But just couldn't seem to fit that hole? 
Have you got so worried you started to shake, 
Or just felt too weak to be awake? 
Have you been so mad you started to cry, 
Or used a smile as a lie? 
Have you lost who you are way down deep, 
Or unsure of which secrets to keep? 
Have you felt the internal cold, 
Or felt like life was too much to hold? 

Sadness is always OK,
I promise you, it will get better someday. 
Life beats you down to the ground, 
And then so quickly turns around. 
But have you felt the joy of living, 
And all and everything the world is giving? 

It's when you feel the sun against your cheek, 
Or thank God for each and every week. 
It's when you laugh so hard you began to snort, 
Or lean on your best friend for support. 
It's when you dance your heart out in the rain, 
Or achieve your goal through the pain. 
It's when you smile so hard it starts to hurt, 
Or when that special person begins to flirt. 
It's the warmth and comfort of your room. 
Or the beauty of when flowers bloom. 
It's everything that fills your heart, 
Even after you fell apart. 
It's everything that helps you cope, 
And lets you know there is always hope.
