My Last Hope.

When I was born to the world,

I thought I’ve found a better place to live.

I trusted almost everyone.

Thinking that life is full of love and not its opposite.

As I grew up with experience,

I became lost in the jungle of higgledy-piggledy.

Now even asking myself,

Is this life what I thought it’s really is?

 

Daddy told me that I need someone to trust,

Mummy said I can’t walk the mile alone.

My siblings assured me of their true love,

That I need them to achieve my precious goal.

Time keep exposing me to some secret wisdom,

That even sinks me more in great confusion.

Now, if my family can fail their words,

Then who in the world can make me strong?

 

I thought the street would be an option,

And I decided to give it a risky try.

I was going around from point to point,

Believing to find one of my very kinds,

But I soon realize this ultimate point,

That nobody cares about others.

 Everyone I busy striving for their own wants,

Fighting harder only for their own survival.

 

In disappointment I wobbled back home,

With my spirit filled with anxiety and depression.

I looked up to the heaven above and down to the earth below.

And I concluded that life is a pandemonium.

Sorrow declined my head in gloominess.

I stooped low with my heart broken and weary.

I said to myself that I’m not better than the dead,

That nothing in this world seems so real.

 

My mind took me on a million mile journey,

And I remember there’s a man called God.

I went down on my knees and cry before him.

And I felt my broken heart being healed.

My pains were gone and my mind feel eased.

My hope was revived and come to live.

The river of courage floods through me,

And I found a reason to keep living.

You have a strong faith and that will sustain you. I like to hear of those who have found a faith after years in the wilderness. Nicely conveyed lines. You give hope to those who are still searching.
