What is Hope?

What is hope?
A state of mind willing you to break free.
Inspiration to find a better life
A silent whisper in the shadows of your mind
A dream dreamt by millions, including me,
The will power to carry on.
Determination to fight through the hard times.
The Only thing left when everything else is gone.
The element that keeps you up when you're down.
What we depend on most,
and what life and dreams revolve around.
This is hope.
