Shattered Hope
What happens to a shattered hope?
Does it break into pieces
like a broken glass?
Or gather wings like a bird
And then fly away?
Does it burst like a deflated balloon
or shine brightly and beautifully,
like a full moon?
Maybe it just lost hope
like a helpless trapped animal?
Or does it fall dead?
An adaptation of Langston Hughes poem ''Dream Deferred''
