Hope

Hope,
What is it?
A feeling of expectation or desire,
A want,
A need-
A need to deal with the hard days,
A need to get through the endless expectations, endless delays,
And sometimes all this need brings with itself is- dismay.
Hope is a friendly smile across the room when you’re standing and talking when everyone’s gawking,
Hope is a helping hand when you see an old woman who can’t stand on the road,
Hope is a ray of sunlight after a storm,
Hope is your mom waiting to console you, knocking on your door,
Hope is a blooming flower during a pour.
One must know
Disappointment in inevitable
But you cannot give into insanity,
Because our hopes are the pillar of our humanity.
There are no sunshine flowing corners in this world,
No “happy ever after”,
But what is-
Is disdain
And pain
But if you want the damn rainbow,
You have to deal with rain.
