Hope is temporary

Folder: 
Strife

You will never understand

What it truly means to have courage

In your heart

You shrug with indifference

At my pain, and conflict

You offer bouts of sympathy

In the form of reluctant arms.



‘’It’s going to be okay’’

Is the biggest lie in the book

Why, knowing that I’ll fall down

Do you try and build me up?

Hope is only temporary

It’s strength that all hearts yearn

A promise, that tomorrow may be better

But I guess I didn’t learn.



I saw it in your face, a million times.

The apathetic, condescending

Sarcasm of your words

Why hold my body against your own

Why give me womanhood as a girl

If you are to leave me with nothing but

A resentment of the world?



But alas, I must remind myself.

That all of this is in vain.

You have not the intelligence to follow trains of thought

Nor the depth to comprehend pain…



Goodbye.

indeed... perhaps you should constantly live in despair then? At least no matter what would happen you couldn't sink lower in defeat...

but then again...

if you keep hope... then you have a chance of finding what you're looking for... which is better than no chance at all.

You should not resent yourself for striving what you want... and if people disagree... well... I'm sure you know which finger to give.

... and when people usually say it's going to be OK... they don't mean it out of sympathy... they mean it out of care. So don't take it the wrong way...

I hope you never fall...
