Hope

I see magic,

I see life,

I see love

And I see strife,

But yet, I can not help but feel more alive.

I have experienced pain,

I have felt loss,

I have failed at being my own boss,

But as of late I see a glimmer of hope,

I'm getting better and I am beginning to cope,

I sometimes still feel sorry for myself,

But I am also being honest to thy self,

Each day is slightly better than the last,

And even though life is moving fast,

I do not feel overwhelmed or underwhelmed by what may come,

Because I know that the next day I will still wake up and see the sun,

As hope in my life has returned,

And life has humbled me enough and I have learned,

And from now on ,things will never be the same,

For I know that I am not broken nor am I lame,

For I know that this thing called life I will tame,

Because I am no longer the hunted,

I'm am now the hunter,

And I know that I will win this game.
