Hope?

Truth or pessimistic?

By Kaliko RodriguesPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Hope- what we crave and desire for,

pray and plead for, strive and protect for,

what we trust and rely on for but... for what?

Hope- passed on by the victors, the others lost.

Did they not too hold hope, believed in it, for what?

Hope- the pat on the back "Good try" sugar filled lies,

lives spent with the belief in the "hope" of the impossible,

their hearts, holding true to the desire but really... for what?

Hope- loyal in the thoughts that life will always get better after,

reaching the bottom of the abyss- this is not some kids fabled story,

the truth of reality is, your shell will implode well before you reach it.
