Literary (Competition): “Hope”
No one loves you
There’s nothing you can do
Everybody hates you
And there’s nothing you can do
You don’t accept failures
You have a big pride
Why can’t you just let it slide?
Those are the letters that rains inside
That I don’t want to abide
I’m not deft nor deaf
But I’m a tree that’s strong
Because I know they’re wrong
They know that part of me was winter
And part of me was spring
I won’t let them win the war
Because I didn’t fight
I know I’m something
That’s why they told me I’m nothing
Whatever they do I won’t mind
I’ll stay what I am
I’ll stay kind
I just hope someday the swords and knives around me
Will go away
Even though there’s a tiny hope
I’ll still fight and
The sun can shine on me again
Even though that language stabs me
There is a tiny hope between them
Though my heart is brittle
At least I know I’ll fight though the chances are little
Whatever it takes
I won’t mind
Whatever it takes
I have hope
