Hope

Hope is the need to be happy,

when the world is weighing you down.

It’s the need to smile,

when everything is going wrong

Hope is the need for love,

when you feel like you’re unworthy.

It’s the need for companionship,

when you’re all alone.

Hope is the need for empathy

when nobody seems to understand

its the need for likeminded people

who can relate to how you feel

Hope is being able to reach out,

knowing there’s a helping hand.

It’s the loyalty of friends and family,

when you need them more than anything.

Hope is the driving force of life,

when you’re back is against the ropes.

It’s what pushes you forward,

when everything holds you back.

Hope is the need for justice,

when unfathomable acts are committed.

It’s the need for something to believe in,

when all else seems lost

Hope is all that we have,

to help us get through the worst.

It’s the belief that things will get better,

despite all the things that hurt.
