TR: (hope speaks)
Hope sings a song of freedom,
Full of life and love the Harmony rings,
Touched by Light of faith,
Eternally satisfied is in store for me
B: (hopeless speaks)
Guilt and shame chains me in
Too many tangled up sucide thoughts
Many unspoken memories
I'm worthless, hopeless, no light in sight
TR: (hope speaks)
Innocence and pride hold me up,
Uncluttered thoughts linger inside,
Complete peace touches my face,
Inspired by life, hope carries on
B: (hopeless speaks)
Down in the darkness
and in the blink of an eye,
All was gone
Day by day the anger grows
TR: (hope speaks)
Freed by the light,
I open my blinded eyes,
Receiving new sight,
Through hope the voice speaks peace
B: (hopeless speaks)
Locked in by the devils grip
my eyes are sealed shut
jagged emotions cut all hope
lost of all hope the day finally ends

Good job you two
I know I'm to late to make a difference in the contest, but wonderful write none the less. You both did a great job on your respective parts. I just hate it that there has to BE a hopeless part.

Thank you. I understand that they should not be no hopelessness but some people are stuck there. We must show them hope. Thank you for reading and commenting on this one.

This is really good so far. I can't wait to read what you write next. Good luck the both of you. I think you picked a topic I deal with a lot. I don't know how to find hope when I feel that I am lost. Thank you both. I will be back when you two are done.
