Literary (Submission): Hope

It would be easy
To give up and let go,
To drop everything and leave,
To stop trying so hard
But if that's so,
Then why are we still here,
alive, awake, and moving?

The reasons are everywhere
The reasons could be small things,
A compliment here and there,
How the sky looked this morning,
A smile, a wave or a "hi"
Or the flowers you pass by

The reason is friends and family
The reason is hope and positivity
And being thankful for being here
Though things aren't always clear

"What keeps you going?"
The answer's different for everyone
"What keeps you up?"
The reasons are never gone
Some reasons are hard to see
But no matter how challenging things may seem to be,
There's always a reason somewhere there
To lift you from despair
Whether the reasons are big or small
We hang on to the hope that saves us all
