Lost

Have you ever reached that line
that dead end of hope?
that seem to be the only hope
That line is where am traveling on
a point where future seems like a million years away
But that line is slacking now
Have you ever reached that line?
tell me please i need to know!

Have you ever reached that line 
where all dreams lead to a single path
and that path seem to have faded away
tell me please i need to know!

I  have gotten to that point
and every hope left of me is around a tiny rope
will it lead me  to my Canaan land?
Has anyone being to this point
tell me please i need to know!
cos all i have left is a tiny rope of hope
wrapped around my battered palm.
