Never

When fear runs deeper than hope

When halfway to a distance seems long

Longer than the miles already walked hand in hand

When the closed door of the past shuts you out from the open ones

When you want to scream at the top of your lungs

“It’s better not to take this chance again”,

A welcome with a slight hesitation

A feeling which has no guarantee

Planning and contemplating what is to be

And all this time not once hopeful

An education in itself

Starting with a never

And ending with the same.

A battle looming in the background

Walking with the uncertainties in tow,

If every feeling is pain and every smile hollow

Why do we strive for the dreams of tomorrow?
