The spirit of hope
Posted on 05. Jan, 2012 by Ali Abbas in English Poetry, Todays Thought
when life seems just a lie…
nothing seems to work ..
no matter how hard you try…
when colors turn shades of grey…
and everything seems to go astray…
all your efforts go in vain…
each night you cry in pain….
you feel you are so lonely…
no one is anymore around…
neither friends nor family…
happiness can no more be found…
every move you make..
every step you take..
makes you want to quit..
makes you want to break…
you feel like running away…
giving up and ending it all…
you try to hide the scars…
you fake smiles to make things okay…
darkness seems to surround you…
why nothing is happy around you…
remorse fills your heart…
and guilt of sins not done…
tears your soul apart..
you know you are not wrong…
yet you blame yourself…
yet you hate yourself…
no desire you find to live…
death seems a heavenly gift…
you block away all the light…
you end up in a self strife…
and wonder where you go now…
far away does tomorrow sound…
unsure what will come next…
even with God you begin to detest…
times like these..
when everything is so bleak…
let me enter your life…
give me room in your heart…
let me help you…
in escaping the doom…
let me light up..
the never ending gloom…
deep down you know it too..
give me a chance..
let me prove it to you…
that no matter how dark the night…
that no matter the fears of past …
i am here to fight them all..
i linger on when all else dies…
hold my hand so together we try…
survive we will through this storm..
from this darkness we will move on…
i am the savior of ones in need…
for i am here to help you cope..
for i am nothing but the spirit of hope..

For nothin but iam spirit of hope…i would like to use the following verse of Metallica-Unforgiven 2 to show my appreciation and touching joyous emotions on this marvellous piece of writing which ofcourse I did feel from the heart!
"The door is closed, so are my eyes….
But now I see the sun! now I see the sun…NOW I see it…"
Now, u better get into the depth of the comment and understand!!!
Great writing!

thankyou so much for liking the post and i am humbled just by the relation you have built between my poetry and the verses of metallica. I do, really I do understand the perspective you are coming from that is why I appreciate the comment. Also I would just like to mention that this piece has been written specifically for someone.
