I lost all hope

So full of whisper oh dawn of mystery
That I had mistaken for normal luxury
Lost in the rhythm of life's harmony
Dancing to your tune yet all is agony

I lost all hope! I lost all hope

That the sun will rise with new flag so white
That a full moon will be jealous, though, might
Be mistaken all gold glitters
Yet no light outshines the moon but litter

I lost all hope! I lost all hope

When the nightmares of my childhood haunts
And the universe offers nay but taunts
Was when I realised that all was at stake
But then my all is what life takes

I lost all hope! I lost all hope

If in my hand exists, pen of fate and destiny
I would have written just peace and harmony
But then I am no God whose knowledge is infinite
For He alone knows all that's obsolete

I have found hope! I have found hope.

I can see you're going through a tough time. Losing hope sure is a heavy feeling, but it's definitely something you carry with you. Hope stays with us even when we lose it, so you might find strength in that someday.

The poem is pretty intense with those themes of hope and resilience, but the ending gives you such an emotional lift! It's like appreciating how complex and layered these emotions can be. It shows both loss and finding something beautiful after it.
