Hope

If it’s all dark,
If smoke is all over,
If nothing is clear;

If days are lifeless,
If nights are slumberless,
If dreams are shattered;

If beats become dormant,
If senses do not respond;
If breath is stopping,

If silence is biting,
If reality is creepy,
If truth is scary;

If relations are ending,
If nobody is listening;
If trust is lost,

If self is dying,
If esteem is dead,
If spirit is rusting;

If life becomes numb,
If death is pleasing,
If staying is fearful;

Everything can be fine,
You can be alive again,
You can be happy again;

You just don’t leave me,
I am always there,
I am Hope.
