Smeared with a splash of myriad colors
I remain drenched
in shades of many vibrant thoughts,
some brandishing hope,
few smiling hopes
and many stretching its hand
to touch the dandy elation
But the feel soon morphs
into an abstract charm,
with no face to reckon with,
no name to pronounce
it consumes itself to nothingness
My heart makes one last attempt
to capture the glee
but it disappears
like sand sifting through a fist
Despaired and gruntled
I closed my eyes
trying to calm my mind
and shed away the illusionist charm
And as I looked within
I found her footprints
with the similar vibrant colors
draping my soul,
I thought of giving it a name
and this time around I called it, hope

Are you in the 11th grade? Omg You are so young 😊and at this tender age you write so beautifully. God bless you
“I thought of giving it a name
and this time around I called it, hope” – beautiful. Introspection, looking inwards and finding Hope.
