Your Life

For My 1 love

When all about you is black with gloom,

And all you feel is pending doom.

When your body is racked with grim despair -

When every breath is a gasp for life.

Keep on going, though you need to grab hold,

For around the bend is a ray of hope.

A ray of hope is visibly all that's left,

As your will to live has been bereaved.

You've lost it all, it's just no use!

You can end it all, you need no excuse.

But throw away that piece of rope,

And give yourself a chance of hope.

Just give yourself another day,

Brushing aside what your head may say.

This is your life and you can make a better life,

By ignoring the brain - just follow the heart.

Taking baby steps in order to cope,

And minute by minute you'll build on your hope.

Build on your hope,. one day at a time,

Though the road be long and steep to climb.

The pain of the past - they should be dead.

The fears of the future are all in your head.

Just live in the present and refuse to let go

Your life will sparkle for you're living in hope.

Beautiful,
even in longing, in longing for an end,
even in that moment, where we could
end our heartbeat, we give life
one last glimpse, and try to find
a reason to hold on, just to give it another day.

I felt this way,
or should I say I've been,
or maybe even am, feeling this.
You got to the point, hold onto hope.
Amazing write.
