Hope is the thing that keeps us going
Hope is a poem without any words
Hope is what follows us everyday
Hope is the light that sparks our eyes
...
Tears under my makeup
Desolation under my smile
Scars under my clothes
Pain under my pleasure
...
Waiting in the darkness
Is the person of my nightmare
Always haunting me
Telling me what to do and think
...
Why is life so cruel?
Cruel to some but not to others
Why is life so bad?
Bad to some but not to others
...
Ugly, fat, worthless
Mean, obnoxious, dumb
Why me? What did I do?
That's the thing, if I only knew…
...
Dreams are like a glass ball glistening in the sun
You can't touch it nor see it
Always there but never quite in your reach
You're so close but then it slips away
...
Alone and afraid
No one to go to
Then you came
From the shadows
...
Blazing like fire
So hot and red
But there is one difference
You cannot see it
...
I'm trapped in a small box
In the darkness
No strength to lift the lid
No way out
...
I'm in the dark, for the first time
Don't know where to turn
Don't know where to go
Lost in a place with no end
...
