The Hope Inside

Dark and Gloomy 
The days went by
She lost her hope
All's she did was cry

Her mother was gone
She couldn't go on
Her life felt useless
There was no point 

Then one day it came
The letter that made her forget her shame
Her and her mother had filled out the form
But now was the day she knew for sure if she'd be living in a dorm

She finally felt it again the happiness inside of her
She opened the letter 
And there it was the answer to her life
And the hope she could never find.

Her acceptance to the college
It blew her mind
She thought of her mother
And how she'd be proud
She decided to go
And stop moping around

She grew up and had a good life
There was a new person
Made from dust.
