Finding Hope

Posted on 7th Dec 2020 by rohit kumar

I've envied the people around me

So invested in living each day,

While I spent my time hiding out from the world

And searching for ways to escape.

 

For most of my life, I truly believed

I was here to help somebody else,

But now it's so clear it was just an excuse.

To avoid living life for myself.

 

It's sad that our lives and the pain we endure

Can weaken our strength to move on,

But if we get lost in the scars of our past,

Without knowing our lives will be gone.

 

So the time has now come to conquer my fears

And to stand up and face a new day.

Let the hurts of my past wash away with my tears

And stop letting my life slip away.
