A Poem about Hope - "Awakened"

It takes time to open one's eyes

That's once blinded by pain

To see one's value and worth again

And let them feel they're special too

Sometimes they need to look back

Retreat for what is lost

Find what was missing

By then, they'll find their selves again

Often times, mistakes turn to a teacher

To wake them up and show the reality

River of tears may be traded in

In cleansing one's soul out of the mud

They go back to where they used to

And see they've been changed a lot

Wounds have made them bitter

And they'll notice it wasn't better

Now, they'll start again from scratch

Rebuild what was ruined

And turn the folded page to pass

Unravel the rope, be free from bondage

Goodbye my sweetest friend

As you go far, miles away

You'll be kept inside me

Forever in my heart, you'll be here

Time has played so quickly

That we soon partake each farewell

Let me unravel these words for you

I adore you for being there always

The nights will never be darker again

As you rekindle the flame in me

You'll be here in my heart pounding

Brighter days come forth now

Our ways might never cross again

But let's focus on today's moment

Tomorrow will never be predicted 

Let's live now, forget what will come

Someday will find our way back

Let's keep our promises in our hearts

Don't cry will be together good folk

When fates intersect, lead us in one trek
