the death of hope (me living an opposite life)

And so she died... 
Hope, dreams, aspirations 
the world changing, constantly moving, downward spiral, 
One way, one location, stop believing people are good
feeling but not feeling, lifeless eyes as I walk through the hood  
dead eyes hollow souls don't care about school, don't have goals
no direction, nowhere to go
looking up at the sky, down to the ground  why even try
confusion is my constant thought my constant friend I've never fought
back and forth my brain it goes, the waterworks the tears they flow as my desperation grows
things in my life moving in slow mo
this world I'm in around and around it goes
tired of watching the cars go by
Wishing I were a bird wishing to fly 
out of this world beyond the world that is mine to a place where I feel like trying
as I sit watching as the world around me continues dying
my soul has passed, she passed away 
I begged and pleaded with her please don't go, just stay 
we can work things out I'm sure we can
but she looked back at me and away she ran
down the street into the arms of some strange man
away she went, never saw her again
the name of that man, Mr. My Only Chance
and so here she lies there on the street, placed in a hole never complete

goodbye Hope
