All I Need


All I need is hope.

Ten years of despair and

Isolation. 

Ten years of wondering what it means

To be normal.

A life where I questioned if it's all

Worth it. But one day, it all vanished.

I was happy.

I was free. And then,

The Darkness returned from its vacation.

All I need is hope.

Hope that, for just one more day,

The Darkness will won't leave me feeling 

Numb and tired. Hope that,

One day, I won't have to wonder anymore what

It's like to be normal.
