What is hope?
Do I dare reawaken buried dreams?
Emptiness and loneliness are what I know
And life means death
to me
I stare at the pills
But I don't have to take them
The gun calls to me
But I won't listen
The rope tries to pull me
But I resist
The knife beckons me
But it's not my only option
Friends cannot be found
But someday I'll meet them
Health fails
But I'll learn to accept it
Dreams, like bulbs
Are buried in the ground
But someday they'll break through the
surface
Buds will open, flowers bloom
When the path to hope is blocked
It's found in His life
Darkness all-encompassing
Can't keep out the rays of light
The path to life seems shut off
But His arms are still open wide
Healing is elusive
But it's found in His wounds
He will guide me in the path of life
For He is my Light
"You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore." Psalm 16:11, ESV
