THE MAN WHO LOST ALL HOPE

This is the story of a boy who couldn't cope

But there was a man who gave him some hope

With love, he washed him like soap

Till the depressed was full of hope.

This is the story of the boy who couldn't cope

Till a man came and gave him some hope.

But, then, we heard he died;

That is, the man who gave him some hope.

But how did he die?

We heard he took his own life

Because he, too, couldn't cope...

It's indeed strange, how some of the most friendly and helpful people in the world have deep struggles they share with no one, how despite giving hope to others, they end up taking their own lives, or keep suffering in silence. It's a deep tragedy indeed. Let's also take out time to give joy to those who always do their best to make us happy.
