Hope?

Passing on by like a tumbleweed

In a life where no one succeeds 

But when you really think about it

When is it time to quit

To throw in the rag

God, life is such a drag

People tell you that they love you

You ask 'But do you?'

We tend to tune things out

Because we are drenched in doubt

When we really should be tuning in

Instead we lock everything away in a pin

Shut your mouth and throw away the key

Just like we promised our mommys

How long can that key be in hiding?

Your secrets are flowing, shining

We can ALL see right through you

Tell me you'll stay true

Don't be altered 

Do not falter

Let people know your story 

Make them understand you in your glory

I may not take my own advice

But that's just me, I roll the dice

This is not about me though

Let yourself glow.

Thank you. Most of my poems don't show a lot of hope or encouraging words. Sometimes you have to switch things up!

This one has much more life and hope in it :)
I like the way it picks up pace and gives a final push, while you still show, you are there.
