hope is an extraordinarily broad word;

hope is a concept that may seem absurd;

hope can invoke feeling as free as a bird;

hope can allow one to truly be heard;

hope contributes to the growth of self-esteem;

hope flows throughout the body like a stream;

hope is contagious and its vibrance gleams;

hope motivates one to follow their dreams;

i understand the notion of a lack of hope;

and that a person’s vitality can downwardly slope;

but what i have learned through the thick and the thin;

is that the priority should not be to “win”;

but it should be to accept myself, deep from within;

despite my imperfections and maladies;

i have conclusively been able to seize;

and manage these flaws with a tight squeeze;

so that i do not allow myself to fall;

back into the endless pit, which enables a brawl;

of being forced to climb back up with a gradual crawl;

my journey towards hope truly came from maturity and advancement;

as well as exploring myself, and what serves as enhancement;

to my already-blooming growth of my personality;

and the development of my brain, as well as my morality;

the maintenance of hope prevents a slew of pain;

hope can allow emotions to be easier to explain;

hope enhances the beauty that i possess;

hope can hinder the advancement of stress;

hope can tempt me to fully process;

my positive attributes and all of my progress;

hope can shine as bright as the sun;

the sensation of hope can lead to jovial fun;

and while i admit that i’m not always;

captivated by this feeling;

and there are days;

that i lack any desire for self-dealing;

the brightness of hope and its luminous rays;

can transform my frown into a content gaze;

and while i comprehend that life is a thorough maze;

hope is something will continue to amaze;

me, despite all of the chaos and craze;

within my own life and its multitude of setbacks;

the runaway train in my brain has derailed off the tracks;

but hope has persuaded me to somewhat relax;

and convinced me to share its message in a beautiful syntax.
