Hope Over Terror

In the nowhere of the asphalt night, I grasped a little breath beneath my shadow.
I was a human, mediocre at being perfect.
But imperfection was secretly lurking beneath my soul.

I felt a hollow lie that in me that needs to be downwind.
But who am I to reproach such a melancholy life.

Tears sting my eyes as I reflect on this world of mine.
The terror strikes me like a thundering fire that can’t be quenched.

But then I felt hope giggling, replacing the terror with relentless and inexplicable force.
That’s how I realized hope lifts the hopeless soul with such a happy ending.

Hope obliterates the memories of tough times.
Hope in such a hopeless world.

Wow. The line about hope giggling really got me. It's so weird how sometimes the smallest thing can just cut through all that darkness when you least expect it. Been there with that 'hollow lie' feeling too, like you're just going through the motions. Glad you found that little spark man.
