Less

What if all hope was lost
The frightened child never comforted
The desperate suicidal teen toes gripped on the riverbank
Broken splintered lives eager for the end
i look deep into the abyss as it falls into me
No one knows i have no hope
I walk amongst the dead shadows
My pretence on my face
Inside upon a smoothened rock 
Spot light from above
crushed and withered
hope crumbles and carried on the wind 
is gone

When hope is lost, all is lost sadly... Worry ends when faith begins... Well expressed Christopher...

Not sure if that is true a good man without hope can still be a good man
