You’ll lose again, and again and again
But you have to get up
Face your fears
Stand up and then,
The light of motivation
Fading so slow
Wanting to give up
But no
There’s a flicker of hope
Tipping over the edge
The lantern is falling
To its very death
But what matters now
Is to get back up
The flicker of hope
Isn’t out
You matter now,
Because it’s not over
Signed,
A Beautiful Clover
Regarding the Flicker of Hope: This poem is such an inspiration for how to live one's life regardless of what circumstances send your way. It would be great to think everything will go as planned, but when it doesn't, you just have to keep that flicker glowing till it lights the way for you. Very important thoughts expressed poetically.
