Hope

*a poem inspired by neon genesis evangelion, which does not belong to me*


Can anyone truly see

See through the outer layers

Into the heart

Does anyone truly care

Care about the state of the world

And what it has become

I am flowing

Slowly flowing down the river of life

I am drowning

Inevitably drowning in pain and sorrow

Please save me from this torture

Set me free from this punishment

Can anyone see me

Hear me

Can anyone spare a moment to lift me

Enlighten me

Around me is an infinite amount of beings

But none respond

They let me inhale the clear water

Let me close my eyes forever

Now everything is a blur

I am leaving this planet of despair

But out of the darkness comes

A shimmering ray of light

A helping hand

That tugs me out of the icy liquid

Rescues me

But now I have changed

I have neared the other world

And want to return

Let me go

I don't want more problems

I don't want to deal with anything

I...

I don't know what I want

But this hand guides me back

In the right direction

It shows me love

It shows me beauty

And that I am worth something

How can I ever thank him

It's a debt impossible to pay

No

I don't have to give anything back

For he is my God

Father of all

He will not let us fall

He knows what is right

And most of all

He cares

Which is more than I could ever have hoped.
