HOPE
Long nights,
A wearing heart,
It looks as if the nights would stay forever,
With no hope of a morning.
Helpless, worried, down caste,
Would it just be dawn already?
The dark nights are creeping me out,
It is gradually becoming my reality.
Can I be this miserable all my life?
There certainly should be a way of escape,
It dawned on me that I have given up before it was over,
I have ended the game before the end of the game.
So I took courage,
I burned night candles,
I made a light in the dark,
The light kept burning brighter and brighter,
Till there was enough light to go by.
As time went by,
I had no need for dawn,
For lo,
I had converted my night into dawn,
Hope has been revived,
Tides have been turned around,
I am glad I fought on,
I am joyful I kept hope alive,
Shadow becoming a reality!
