Traces Of Hope
I found a little beauty in the silent awakening
of the morning sun
After a sleepless night.
I found a trace of hope
in the songs of a child.
Hope that came about
from innocence and courage .
I found a little pain in your eyes when
you said you were alright.
I've felt the emotions in your silence
Emotions of loneliness , I suppose.
I've realized the importance of fate's harshness and
negligence towards my meaningless crying.
It taught me to be stronger and prepared for more.
I found a little beauty in learning from my mistakes,
Not fretting upon them.
So I won't waste my time trying to find pieces of myself,
helplessly wishing I could undo the past.
I will create a future from dreams I have fabricated ,
not letting my mistakes influence my goals.
I will be stronger in facing tomorrow.
