Hope

Sometimes when I walk in a crowd,

but still feel lonely,

When I crave for a friend, but find strangers only.

When joy is hard to find and pain hard to conceal,

When emptiness is the only emotion I can feel

I still smile and feel alive,

The hope in me still makes me strive.

‘Coz I still have hope and hope is all I have

When life tries to let me down,

I only find obstacles around.

When every effort goes waste,

N all I get back are failures to taste.

When the journey seems endless,

My hope makes me stand up and feel blessed.

‘Coz I still have hope and hope is all I have.

When night falls and darkness prevails,

And through turbulent times the ship the ship of life sails.

When love and relationships are all but true,

Dullness sets in and I find nothing new,

When at crossroads, I feel directionless,

My hope makes me stand my by own self.

‘Coz I still have hope and hope is all I have.

When I have nothing to hold onto,

I still have hope to cling to.

When life seems to bring despair amass,

My hope tells me this too shall pass.

Just a four letter word it is,

But can add color to life and make it a bliss.

So whenever it gets too hard to stand,

and things suddenly reach a dead-end.

M still hopeful coz hope is all I have.
