The following is a poem I wrote over two years ago, called "Reaching for Hope". I was going through a lot of trials and depression when I wrote this, and I felt like giving up. But then something flipped inside me, and while this poem doesn't exactly explain how it happened for me, I hope that if you need a reason to hope, then this can help you.
Note: If you feel like you want to, this is a really great song to listen to as you read this, linked here. Also, there is a note I wrote at the end, which you can read if you would like. "Reaching for Hope"-- by me, KytaFreesky Reaching beyond the sky Is easier said than done It's hard to have dreams When darkness has won Covered by the night As black as my heart I walk alone in the hope That nobody else will start The ones who called me those horrible names The ones who caused these deep scars The ones who never thought I would Feel like I was trapped behind bars I cover my ears and face when they come I don't want them to see my tear-stains I just want to be left alone Can't they see the inside pains I am almost finished with life It's become too much to take Nobody knows or even cares that My black heart is about to break I walk up to the edge Of the final place I'll go Then I hear the call of my name But I don't see anyone I know I look every which way But no one I see knows my name I didn't recognize the voice I didn't know from where it came I looked up at the stormy sky above Then remembered that He was there As I saw the brightest moonbeam Part the clouds that were put there I remembered that He loved me And that he always would I walked away from the edge Because with Him, I could I could forgive the people Who almost pushed me off I could stand with a smile on my face In front of those who scoff I could reach past the stars And regain the friends I lost I'll have to thank Him later For paying the greatest cost End My Note: Don't forget that there is always hope. Always. Laurie Halse Anderson said that, “There is no magic cure, no making it all go away forever. There are only small steps upward; an easier day, an unexpected laugh, a mirror that doesn’t matter anymore.” There are people that care about you and want you to keep progressing and become the best you can become. The best is yet to come, if you have hope. Hope for a better day tomorrow can be all you need to have a fantastic day tomorrow. Continue to have hope for an easier day or an unexpected laugh. This is mostly coming from my personal experience. I've had a lot to deal with, but because of my Savior (if you remember from my 20 Questions post, I'm a Christian) and a few other people, I'm still here today. "Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen... yourself, right now, right down here on Earth." -Bradley Whitford Thank you very much for reading. It really means a lot to me that you took the time to read this. --Kyta Comments are closed.
