Hope Is...
Happiness Over People's Expectations (H.O.P.E.)
Sometimes hope is all person's got
You just got to believe it doesn't take a lot
I'm sure that everyone believes in something
Because we'll fall for anything if we stand for nothing
Sometimes our faith can make a big difference
On the outcome of a situation we got to keep living
And praying, hoping, dreaming, and wishing
It's hope that adds fuel to our ambitions
Our desires our wants it gives us the drive
It's the reason we choose to stay alive
The magic it provides helps us to survive
The answers are within us it's up to us to decide
Whether or not to use our imaginations
To conjour up our own inspirations
The realization...
That hope is an acronym for happiness over people's expectations

Refusing to see what is
Focussing on only what's to come
Though uncertain
Joyful like it's already happened
Chasing frowns with smiles
Impossibilities with posibilites
negativity with positivity
Standing up tall
Where others fold and fall
To some its dope
to me that's hope
Focussing on only what's to come
Though uncertain
Joyful like it's already happened
Chasing frowns with smiles
Impossibilities with posibilites
negativity with positivity
Standing up tall
Where others fold and fall
To some its dope
to me that's hope
hope is foolish and sad
burns all life
lies in your face
takes away the truth
the only way to go
is accept the facts and move on
people dont care
so you shouldnt either
yet the foolish still hope
the strong survive
hope kills
so do we
burns all life
lies in your face
takes away the truth
the only way to go
is accept the facts and move on
people dont care
so you shouldnt either
yet the foolish still hope
the strong survive
hope kills
so do we
(something i had written a while ago -a negative take on hope.)
Dark Tranquility
In the silence..
As the crimson sun rose
She sat,gazing out of her window
She had an imperious desire for solitude
Invoking the dark clouds to explode
But the Gods had no mercy on her
as they sadistically watched her fall apart
They judged her,mocked her,shattering her will power..
While she strived to find the pieces and put them together
You could see her struggle as she fought the melancholy in her eyes.
She immersed herself in a sea of desolation
Only to find a murk
A murk so deep and infinite
That the vastness consumed her
It brought her atlast...

tranquility
is the devil of temptation
Lying
to make us do the things we don’t really want to do
Betraying
the trust we have in life and death
Creeping
in our dreams till we are unable to tell the difference between the two
Feeding
off of every climb and fall
Hope is me opening my eyes
Waking up in a bed ready to rise
Hope is my feet hitting the floor
Slept well, refreshed, my back isn't sore
Hope is me cooking my food
I got my own no need to intrude
Thank you Father
Hope you continue blessing me
Waking up in a bed ready to rise
Hope is my feet hitting the floor
Slept well, refreshed, my back isn't sore
Hope is me cooking my food
I got my own no need to intrude
Thank you Father
Hope you continue blessing me
