Desperate Hope

High hopes

Glamorous dreams

Held with no ropes

Just pure positive beams

 

Uncharted expectations

Amazing wills

Unbelievable intentions

Set for the highest hills

 

Extraordinary goals

Marvelous aims

Perfect with no holes

Real and without games

 

Kicked to the ground

Pulled back to land

They are now earth-bound

Hidden and buried in sand

 

Bolted to stone

Pinned in place

Not left on their own

Not able to run in space

A couple of hits

That’s all it took

Shred them to bits

As fast as a look

 

Broken now they lie

Shattered away

Left alone to die

They now decay

 

From hope to despair

A goal turned to fear

A dream to a nightmare

Smile turned to tear

 

Someday they’ll flee

And this’ll be past

They will break free

Yet not so fast

 

I’ll wish for that to happen

And hold on to the thought

As that’s my only weapon

To achieve what I sought
