Poem Title:
Poem
I was once told that "THERE IS HOPE BEYOND EVERY STRUGGLE" Sometimes, I doubt those words & I wonder I've been struggling all these years But I couldn't find hope anywhere here Every time I approached her, she flapped her wings & flew so high Arms stretched out - but..... I couldn't reach her because I was so shy The talents I have, the opportunities, the potential in me All gone down the drain because i was too timid I kept all those in a little box waiting for a miracle Without realizing that all along- Hope was standing on the sideline cheering me on with a high pitched whistle but She's invisible A little voice in my head says "You can do it" but when? I just wanna give out all that I have Poems after poems after poems all kept in a drawer I was too narrow minded thinking that was my last straw HOPE whispered again "you gotta have patience in order to reach me" You won't lose me coz I'm buried deep within HOPE !! I'm starting to give up !! Don't you feel sorry for me? Or is is that my struggle isn't enough? Now I'm feeling like an expectant mother waiting for delivery The pain is just unbearable, I just can't take it But somewhere in me deep down I believe that you're around So there comes a time when I gained my self possession I took out that lil box and opened it with so much affection This time - HOPE was right by my side She gave me new wings to be able to fly high Oh! my gosh- the view from up here is amazing The feeling I have right now is just ecstatic Hope made me hopeful enough to be able to hope again I could no longer keep up the masquerade I guess I've been imprisoned long enough in a world called the comfort zone It trapped me so hard making me feel alone Well, I don't wanna hang around there anymore Coz the Eagle in me is now ready to soar.
