Introduction :
At some point in your life, you must have felt as though the world is crumbling, the walls are closing in, everything you had worked for is not worthwhile anymore and nothing can ever help you escape.
In times like this hopeful is the last thing you feel. But it is exactly what is needed.
Hope is the reason you try to achieve something and it is the source of energy when you feel down or exhausted. This is a poem based on hope and how people need to use it more in their lives.
“Hope”
H-O-P-E, four letters forming a word.
Not too many, mind you, just four.
But oh god, oh my, oh good Lord
They weigh more than 4000 pounds.
They mean so much to humanity,
Yet it’s a wonder how we don’t see
How powerful and beautiful hope can be!
Hope is what fuels one to seek wisdom,
Hope is what fuels one to dare,
To challenge,and to hold courage.
Hope is what makes one determined,
Hope is what keeps one happy,
And makes one be working and trying.
Yes, hope is that thing!
‘H’ in it stands for heart-
Asking us to always keep it there.
‘O’ in it stands for outlook-
Telling us to always have in every problem, idea and outlook.
‘P’ in it stands for power-
Telling us that it’s the ultimate source of work and energy.
‘E’ in it symbolises enclosed but eternal beauty-
Meaning that we are truly beautiful when we are hopeful.
If,god-damn, hope means so much
Then why are so many letting it go?
Why are so many leaving this priceless jewel,
Instead of clutching to it like your wealth?
Why are we submitting to despair
By letting go of our lifeline-our hope?
It’s like knowing that a bar of soap
Is near your feet, but still
Purposefully walking and slipping on it.
Let hope be like oxygen to your body
There with every breath,
There with every heartbeat
So that you can be successful in each of your feats!
