From Hopeless to Hopeful

April 11, 2014

[Cant you see me?]

I know you feel you'd be better off dead,

But please, don't listen to those voices in your head,

I long to bring you hope.

You say no one cares, you're unknown,

You feel so lost and alone—

I long to bring you hope.

You seal closed your eyes,

But I can still hear your cries,

I long to bring you hope.

You are my friend,

And in the end,

I long to bring you hope.
