Hopeful

Hopeful

As the train chuggs, slowly,

into the station

I move myself lazily

For a peek outside,

To find a young boy, a stranger,

waving me goodbye

On seeing him, I reflect upon my deary affairs

The sad cynical pessimist me,

who distrusts, questioning every thing

And despite being only eighteen,

I feel old and devoid of life

Its then when I decide,

to shed this cynical skin,

to remove the pessimist within me,

Hopefully can now I regain my youth,

All thanks to a strange young boy.

Now that he stood waving,

I wave back

Grateful, and happy that

despite all the cynicism that now prevails,

There is still hope in the world
