Hope

My life has mostly been driven by hope

Yet I have found out the hard way sometimes hope is not enough

What can hope bring to me besides

Heartache, Sadness, afraid, and many others

Please give me one good reason why I should hold on to hope

When alll it really has done is brought more pain with it

Sometimes I think the only reason I hold on to hope

Is because then I have some  light to hold on to

Nevertheless hope was not really done much for me

So why should I hold on any longer

I want someone to come up to me and let me know that over time hope gets

Better and that hope has a hidden secret

No one has though so I might as well allow it to slip through my fingers

Maybe then I will be happy again

People like me think hope is just another thing

That we must deal with as it comes

When others think it's a gift from above
