What Remains

Though the path ahead seems unsure there is still a glimmer of light that shines up ahead
You aren't sure where it will lead but you know there is no need to turn back now after all that you've given up to take this journey
You decide to pack light because the distance is unknown, there is no telling what you'll pick up while you travel, and there's no need to pack unecessary items that would just hold you from walking in full stride
So you sit your back pack down and take out doubt, uncertainty, jealousy, fear, envy, regret,denial,arrogance,selfishness,anger,sadness,depression,dishonesty, and shame
When you look in the bottom of the pack there is just hope that remains
After all of your life you still have held on to hope
Through all the bad experiences, the many let downs, the people that hurt you, the people that left you, the people that were taken from you, the broken promises, and the crushed dreams you still believe that there is something still there for you
You have this glimmer of light in your heart and that is the light you see in your path
It's what's kept you on the road to the unknown
When all else fails you, hope never waivers, it never gives up, it never lets you down, it won't back down from the obstacles that life throws your way
It is a true believer, and it always has it's eyes on the ending of the storm
Why? Because hope is what keeps you alive, it is the defining emotion that builds you through all of your stresses, through all of your falls, and disappointments
If you take the time to reflect on you, shed off all of the uneccessary emotions that just bog you down, you will realize what remains
