You gave me hope,
even when if it was flickering
between distrust and betrayals,
you showed that hope can be trusted

and with that faint believe
I surged forward
and got introduced to smiles and joys,
which I was so far deprived of
and life,
despite all atrocities,
insanities and madness,
started appearing like a bliss,
for I found hope was beautiful
