Hope

by phillip bligh - Leo

Trivial
painted the walls of life red
important 
escaped with my life
sustained
happiness takes work
meditation
peace is in here somewhere

Life beats us all down
grasping at straws
gasping for air
mouths gaping 
eyes wide

i made it, didn't i
not without scars
not without permanent dimentia
with body still intact
and mind wandering

hope is gone
finding it takes work
friends will help
involvement too

there is only the real me inside
the only steady thing in my life
i won't give that away,
belief
as i hold on tight to this star in my sky
security
let there b one constant in my life
