Hope

Hope is what I start with.

I dream, fantasize, imagine, wish.

A bright future ahead with no obstacles in my route.

A genuine smile emerges from within.

What a beautiful feeling to have,

If only it could stay...

It all comes crashing down.

I'm faced with unmet expectations, disappointment, sorrow, distress.

A dark present arrives with a cracked road to walk on.

My smile vanishes into thin air.

I fail to realize my limitations.

If only I could go back...
