No Hope Is Hopeless

Your story is not yet over.

By Kuyik UmohPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

He wished for the melodious hums of birds to be his alarm each day break.

And for the peaceful sound of crashing waves to be his lullaby at night.

But it felt like a wish without substance.

Just like sailing paper boats, and expecting it to stay afloat for hours.

He longed for a night that he could close his eyes and be just a foreigner in dreamland.

But he was always met with the same routine of sleepless nights.

He hoped for a day, that someone would see through his façade,

But he never wanted to be judged.

He hoped for the day his dad would look at him and not see a failure.

And the day his mum would not treat him as a mistake, and the cause of her torn family.

He felt like an outcast in his world,

Surrounded by people that were meant to show him the true meaning of life, but didn't.

He grew up without love,

But yet still had a heart as soft as cloud and fragile as an egg.

He was dying slowly and longed for escape,

But there was non to save his fading soul.

He felt his hope was hopeless. And had given up all reasons he had left to survive.

Just when he thought about letting go of all the struggles,

And taking his life with his own hands,

A savior came crashing into his life, like a hurricane on an unexpected day.

Ridding him of all the sad moments, and creating happy ones with him.

She saw through his fake smiles and unshed tears,

But never for once judged him.

She showed him love and the true worth of life.

Rather than look at him with pity.

She was his savior and a result of all his hoping.

She made him realize that his story was not yet over.
