Life is beautiful.
Living hurts deeply, sometimes.
I fall flat on my face.
I cry out in agony as my soul cracks and splinters.
I cannot mend my broken heart no matter how hard I try.
Oh! Life happens even to the best of us, leaving us disillusioned and depressed.
Luckily, my bosom friend hope comes along and holds me together.
Hope lifts me and helps me stand on my wobbly feet.
I fix my eyes on the next step I take.
Moment by fragile moment is all I can manage to handle.
Hope hugs me and whispers gently, ” well done. You are doing well.”
I keep moving, no matter how insignificant my effort seems.
I will not stop, for therein lies my strength.
