Rope of Hope

 

I still remember every bit of that place

The sound of the door clasping

The sound of the stairs squeaking

The sound of the window shrieking

And the cupboard slamming

The bed bouncing

The light shining

The life rhyming

Until it wasn’t anymore

Until it lost its core

Until it’s no more

Almost like a tumour

That increases in number

Until it stopped

Until suddenly it went forward

Again, thank God, it moved

Up and up those scary creeks

Up I go with smiles on my cheeks

Although sometimes it reeks

And the ghost sometimes peeks

Happiness always sneaks

Into my heart with all of its streaks

Even though sadness may come swaying in

I won’t stop believing in

God, the universe, the goodness within

Me, the world, and it’s happenin’

It’s happenin’!

A world with more colors starts swooping in

Where Goddess, angels, and freaks come dancing in

It’s all in my head

It’s all in my head

My problems, my hardship, my misery

The rest of the world remains a mystery

But I know one thing for sure in me

I won’t let go of this very rope

Of guidance, of love, of hope

It’s even wiser than the pope

I have everything I need to cope
