Only Hope

I FELT THAT I AM NOT ME, AT ONCE, LOOKED DOWN, FROM DOWN ON, I WAS WRONG, MOST OF THE TIME, WHEN I FELT, THAT WAY. I PULLED AWAY, TRIED TO GROW UP, I FAILED MYSELF, SO MANY TIMES, I FELT THAT WAY AGAIN. WHATS THERE? AT THAT FINIH LINE, OF OUR LIFE? NOTHING BUT, A STRONG HOPE, THAT I CALL. ONLY ONE CHANGE MY LIFE, WHO? ME, MYSELF, AND I. FROM NOW ON, I CAN ONLY CHANGE, THE WAY I AM, THE WAY I THINK, THEY WAY I LIVE, AND FOR WHO THAT I LIVE FOR. I SET UP MANY GOALS OF MINE, HOPE TO BE REACHED, ONCE AT A TIME. HOPE THAT CAN CHANGE MY LIFE ALONG. © Shirin Neshat

Shirin, without "hope," we can lose a zest for life. I'm so glad you have what it takes to be happy. We can make changes in our lives, but people who accept us as we are make the best friends. I really enjoyed reading your uplifting poem! Love, Carolyn
