Hope

Madds

I've been fighting this

Battle for so long,

So much,

I sometimes feel I can't win.

 

But I know I can,

I've seen the leaves in the trees

And the laughter and

The honeybees.

 

And sometimes I feel

Like there ain't no hope;

But man,

Just look around and feel.

 

I tried to die three times,

Took some pills,

Thought I was flyin'.

And it sucks.

 

But when I look around

I can feel the warmth on my skin

And the breeze in my hair;

Nothing like the feelings I'm in.

 

There's nothing important in this world,

Just gotta go around,

Tryna live

For my girl.

 

Just dancing and laughing

And singing and crying,

Lying and dying

And feeling those feelings.

 

Nothing's gonna last in this world,

So you gotta make it count.

You may not have hope to get

But there's always some to give.

    A feeling of at times giving up but then inspired to try and make it work by all the beauty around them, well worded
