Hope
The world has no hope
And you’ll never hear me say that
Good is all around
Because the truth is
Good cannot be found
I would be a liar to convince you
Every life holds purpose
Pain is a shared memory
And even though
We all have tried our best
Hope is cruel treachery
Too many think
A light is within every heart
I know without a doubt that
This thought tears people apart
Humanity believes all to hold some form of evil
Rage, spite, lies, failure
It saddens me to see
Others hold hope
I know this for fact:

I had written this piece when I was struggling. At the time, I had been going through a very hard, very far move to a foreign country. I wasn't able to see the good in the world. However, as time passed in the move, I eventually began to understand that even though our world is flawed, humanity still is beautiful.
