What my 15-year old self knew about Hope

I came across this poem that I had written when I was 15 years old, and it still rings true!

When there’s desperation around

And happiness is nowhere to be found

When aspirations fall to the ground

And disappointments surround

When situations try

And feelings cry

Hope brings peace to your restless mind

Creating satisfaction of a kind

It soothes your fearing emotions

And triumphs over disheartening frustrations

It tells you things you want to hear

Assuring you that you will be near

To all that you have craved for

To the success you so desire

You have seen them crumbling to pieces, it says

You will soon visualize, your dreams materialize!
