High On Hope

Beginnings are usually scary,
And the endings are usually sad.
But it’s everything in between that makes it worth living.
Hope is the only thing stronger than fear.
And is the only thing that sees you through to the very end.
Sometimes events in life occur that fracture the very foundation on which we stand.
Our lives as we know them become forever changed.
We get an upwelling urge to repair, restore and recourse our lives.
But no matter how dark the moment,
You have to know that hope is possible.
You see, you cannot always see with the light.
Sometimes you've gotta go in blind,
Feel around and get yourself back up.
You have to be the guide to your life.
Only you hold the power to control your destiny.
Having hope in your heart you will never lose your true sight.
You can't let life win.
It’s easy to mourn the dead, for they have gone away.
It’s much harder to mourn the living when they walk amongst us each day.
Despair will always knock you, of course,
She creeps up on you at the darkest times.
The moment you are at your weakest, and in a desperate state of mind.
She gives you comfort that don’t compare.
and She tricks you into thinking she will always be there.
So choose your life's drug wisely,
As your knees begin to shake
And you leap across that stage
While the high completely breaks
You’re gonna fall really fast
So brace for the impact and have hope to last
Or collapse.
