Student Poem: Hope

Hope. 

It is the little spark in the darkness. 

The darkness that swallows our hearts. 

The heart that gives us breath. 

The breath that we owe our lives to. 


Hope. 

It is the bridge that spans the abyss. 

The abyss full of despair. 

The despair that gnaws at our will. 

The will that drives us forward. 

The forward that we toil for. 


Hope. 

It is the warmth that kills the cold. 

The cold that chills our bones. 

The bones that support our body. 

The body that is our strength. 


Hope. 

It is the song that fills our silence. 

The silence that leaves us in pain. 

The pain that breaks us. 

The breaking that we strive to fix. 


Hope. 

It is the spark. 

It is the bridge. 

It is the warmth. 

It is the song. 


Hope is you, and you are hope. 

Hope is me, and I am hope. 

Hope is… 

EVERYTHING
