What Do You Do

What do you do when your hope is all gone
When you feel a little weak, yet you try to be strong
When your life is turned upside down and you walk with shame
When faith is nowhere to be found
When you’re stuck in the rain
When no one seems to be there
When you’re feeling all alone 
When no one feels the need to care
When you have no place to call home
When everything seems to go wrong
When you’re sick and tired to death
When the road to happiness feels so long
When yourself is all you have left

What do you do when you’ve given your all
When there is nothing else to do
When you want to stand proud and tall
When everyone points and stares at you
When understanding is too much to ask
When you feel so confused
When you can not live your life because you live in the past
When you have nothing else to lose
