hope

Hope is an extraordinarily broad word
The concept of hope can seem absurd
Hope can invoke feeling as free as a bird
Hope can allow one to truly be heard
Hope contributes to the growth of self-esteem
Hope flows throughout the body like a stream
Hope is contagious and its vibrance gleams
Hope motivates one to follow their dreams
I understand the notion of a lack of hope
And that a person's vitality can downwardly slope
But what I have learned through the thick and the thin
Is that the priority should not be to "win"
But it should be to accept myself, deep from within
Despite all of my imperfections and maladies
I have conclusively been able to seize
And manage these flaws with a tight squeeze
So that I do not allow myself to fall
Back into the endless pit, which enables a brawl
Of being forced to climb back up with a gradual crawl
My journey towards hope truly came from maturity and advancement
As well as exploring myself, and what serves as enhancement
To my already-blooming growth of my personality
And the development of my brain, as well as my morality
The maintenance of hope prevents a slew of pain
Hope can allow emotions to be easier to explain
Hope enhances the beauty that I possess
Hope can hinder the advancement of stress
Hope can tempt me to fully process
My positive attributes and all of my progress
