Hope For Tomorrow (original poem)

Poetry by: @heartofdarkness (Selamet Raharjo)
Medan, October 25, 2021

The heat of the sun that burns the skin

Until the dirty air is inhaled into the chest

I never thought to stop walking

I have a burning spirit

The spirit that burns fear

My soul screams in life

Like a lion that scares its prey

I don't know when will this end?

How long will I last?

Is there hope for tomorrow?

The more I endure, the harder the blow of life I feel

Unexpected

City life is filled with traps of dreams and wishful thinking

A weak soul will not be able to fight all of this

Rise, fight and defend

Hoping for a better tomorrow
