Glimmer of Hope

She sits in the darkness,
hearing her life ticking away,  
unable to silence the sound,
trying as hard as she may.
She turns up the music,
to drown it all out,
 as the sound floods her mind,
she’s left in no doubt.
For every low that she’s feeling,
she knows there will be a high,
from that faint glimmer of hope,
that she feels burning deep inside.
