whatever is needed to be said

Hope

They say hope is a blessing

To help get through tough times

That hope is an extravagant place

That lifts you high above

They say hope is all you need

To get through a bad day

But what happens when that hope

Is suddenly taken away?

All the pain the hope once masked

Surfaced to the top

Reality burning with a crash

A smack across the face

Screams and cries

That can no longer be held in

Break free with a bang

Shaking the world

They say hope is a bird

With feathered wings flying high

A bird who sings a melody

And carries you so effortlessly

Hope; a bird flying through the sky

Hope is a blessing and a curse

Because even the bird that soars

Will eventually die

Hope will no longer ease the pain

Hope is a beautifully tragic thing

It lifts you up, so you can fall

Hope can't get you through it all
