What is Hope?

Unknown, 8th - Oakland, CA
What is hope
Where can I get it
In times like these people say “don’t lose hope”
But I can’t lose something I never had
I’m drowning in my own sorrow and losing my breath running to find peace
I need hope
I need to feel again
I need to be reminded of the endless joy I once relished in 
But
Maybe
I do have hope
Is that why I feel the need to run to the light at the end of the tunnel
Is that the reason I take a million steps a day to find happiness
We all have hope, no matter how helpless we feel
The belief that we will one day rise to our feet is that hope
We need to cherish the memories we made in the past and anticipate the ones to come
We need to stay inside and work to heal the wounds we have
We have hope
