Hope
I’m still here
Drowning in discontent
Fighting the currents
Of your silent consent
Can you see me
Reaching for your hand
Choking on tomorrow
Drinking the sand
I’m still here
Believing in resurrection
Holding onto the debris
Of your heart’s insurrection
Can you help me
Find a reason to live
To breathe the hope
Which you refuse to give
