Nightmares Don't Last Forever

*a hope chamber is the place where hope lives

It’s puzzling trying to understand,
How do problems get fixed in the end?
When it starts you ask yourself the same old questions
But I don’t think that’s a very good suggestion

Will this keep on going on?
Will this race ever be won?
Why does it seem like the world’s tumbling down?
That someone tries to make you frown?

Yes, friends repeated that things would change,
that you’d feel the need to live again.
But it’s hard to believe even those you trust,
when your hope-chamber needs a dust.*

After being bruised and hurt,
tired and troubled, torched and burnt,
You wonder if your scars will heal
And dream of what the future reveals

You got lost, in the midst of the nightmare,
You wanted to breathe, you wanted some air…
Then! When you came out and the dream ended,
You felt relief even though you still needed to be mended.

And finally you get it, you realise your mistake
You thought that you were fine before but now you’re awake
The experience will help when you come across (yet again)
Now another nightmare (though this ones different) because you know that it’ll end

Authors Note: Its true, things come out alright in the end.
