Hope to Cope with…

I just hope
That I could cope
With all the stress
Without a rope
They say, nope nope
But I still hope

I just hope
That I could cope
With all the pressure
Without smoking dope
They say, nope nope
But I still hope

I just hope
That I could cope
With all the losses
Without breakdowns, spirits up the stoke
They say, nope nope
But I still hope

I just hope
That I could cope
With all the hatred
Without having my heart with it mope
They say, nope nope
But I still hope

I just hope
That I could cope
With all the fear
Without having me from it lope/elope
They say, nope nope
But I still hope

Why i stay daunted?

Am I free? They say I am
I can clearly see that I am not, am shackled by your eyes
That’s the reason why am not breaking free, rooted like a tree
Expectations and priorities making it harder to choose the path I always wanted
The thought of not chasing my dreams, of which I am haunted
Tears of disappointment rolling down your/my cheeks
Coupled with my inner conscience daunts me from doing what I always wanted, I stay daunted
