What does hope do? What does it make us become to keep holding on to it? Born in hope, we live in hope and, perhaps, we die in hope too. Hope tells us tomorrow will be better. Hope whispers that a new day will come. We hope our future is bright. We hope that, somehow, we will be okay. But sometimes I wonder— what else does hope do? Does it keep us going, or does it keep us waiting? Does hope save us, or does it quietly trap us here? Hope, dear hope

Hope
Will you still love me, will you still care, When you see, when you see me without the mask, Will you still be here like you promised, or will you Disappear like they all do, Like they have done before. Loneliness has walked beside me for so long, so, I understand if you leave. Love has created and given me pain, I am used to the hurt, I can take it, I won’t blame you if you go, I will help pack for you. Don’t take it the wrong way, I just know where you keep everything, so, it is easy if I pack, it will be quick Just one question, when you go, Will you be okay? Thank you for your time and care, Thank you for the love too, Will you be okay? will you still love and care, if you know me without the mask?

Without the Mask
Are dreamers meant to be, dreamers forever, Are they meant to achieve, what they dream about. Are some of us meant to be, companion for the achievers. To clap for them, as they do so, encourage them to do more, Be second all our life, walk the journey but never reaching its end? We hold on to hope the life will be better, that dreams will come to pass, But are we sure they will, I have seen dreamers die, before the get to live, before their visions breathed, before they became achievers. Before their dreams are reality, before they become achieves. Where do you stand? Are you a dreamer or an Achiever? Is this life a blessing to some and a curse to others? Is this destiny or some ones chooses? Is it the wheels of life or just pure luck? I am yet to understand. If you ever do, please let me in to, Will you?

Dreamer
See the pain them disappearing into themselves. I want to help, but I am disappearing too. I feel like I don’t belong, like I don’t fit in any box. Ohh, I mean any place, you know.

Just
I have learned to appreciate the chains that hold me. Before, I fought to get out of them. Now I say, at least I have these — most don’t. I have learned to praise my prisoner. Before, I fought like hell to get away. Now I say, at least I am not alone. I have learned to love the pain. Before, I would cry. Now I say, at least I feel something.

Chains
I saw her. She was smiling. She was so beautiful. The smile she gave was true, with no lies, no hidden pain, no quiet wounds behind it. I wish you saw her too. She had friends— real friends. Can you believe it? They sat around her, silent and attentive as she told a story. A good one, it seemed, because they were smiling and laughing too. She spoke with confidence, like the world had never told her to be quiet. I wish you saw her. She looked so beautiful— the innocence in her eyes, so clear, carrying no pain, no tear stains, no heavy sighs. I’m telling you, I wish, you saw her. So beautiful. She was me— the younger me. Can you believe it?

The Girl I Saw
They promised me tomorrow. They said, “It will be okay tomorrow.” They said, “Work hard now so tomorrow can reward you.” Have I not worked hard? Have I not done what I was supposed to do? Have I not woken up every day like I was meant to? So tell me— when will my reward come? When will tomorrow arrive? I have waited. I have told myself, “Tomorrow

Tomorrow
“You must endure,” they tell me. “Everyone has gone through it. It is a passage in life.” Who said so? Is it written somewhere? A rule carved in stone? Or is it only spoken by those who never write about their own pain? “Be strong,” they say. “Everything will pass like a cloud.” Like wind, they say. But how long must the cloud stay? How long must I wait for the sky to clear? I do not want to hear it anymore. Just because everyone has gone through it— why must I? I will not endure, for endurance’s sake.” Why should anyone?

Endure, They Say
I think the mirror is lying. The face I see cannot be mine. How can it be? The girl looking back at me looks put together. Beautiful, even. Her skin shines. Her eyes hide no secrets. Her body stands like it belongs to her. I think my mirror is lying. That girl is not broken. Her smile is not cracked. It reaches her eyes. She does not look like me. She does not. I am telling you. She is whole. So tell me— is it the mirror that lies? Or is it you? You who say I am broken. The mirror shows me a whole girl. Who is lying?

The Mirror Is Lying
My brain and my tongue have made a liar out of me. “I’m okay,” I say when I am not fine when they ask. They can’t tell. I have learned how to hide the lies. Mama used to know when I lied. Now she can’t. My sister used to tell on me when I lied. Now she doesn’t notice the lies anymore. Maybe it is an adult thing— the lies, I mean. I still feel the guilt when I lie. I still think about the lie long after I have said it. But I have learned how to live with the lies now. Yet something inside me still whispers the truth. I don’t want to be a liar anymore.
