Fledge peered over what felt like a limitless expanse. Even with how tiny Buzzy appeared, Fledge could tell what she was doing. Any time Buzzy noticed a bit of water on the ground, she would stare at it for… well… too long. Buzzy wanted to make sure that each feather was in its place. So instead of trying to find a way back to Fledge, Buzzy was obsessing over her image.

Fledge squawked loudly at ...

I **try**

And I **try**

And I **try**

And I **try**

My effort stretched for **miles**

If laid out in a **line.**

Higher than **high**

My goals in the **sky**

I did everything I could

To bring them to **life**

I **tried**. I really did.

The late **nights**

Little sleep

Lost track of **time**

Forgot to eat

I pushed...

Hope fades

So does the light

The waters of the sea of grief

Close in around me

Tight

I try to swim for where it was

I try to scream for there it was

And now it’s gone.

I claw desperately at salted air

Green blue and dark

And I am there

Drowning there

For there it was

And now it’s gone

When all hope fails, what do we rely on?...

_it’s just a game_

_it’s just a game _

_calm down _

_your overreacting _

_overreacting _

we played board games when we were little.

they warned us of capitalism.

we didn’t hear their words for we were too busy c̶h̶e̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ winning

When the final piece falls

The hero sits alone

Counts his days

From his broken throne

The people turn ‘round

To look nowhere

There is nothing to see

And nothing worth care

Streets wet with the blood

Of wishes and dreams

Husks of souls, too

Ripped at the seams

Cold in a dark cell

Shreds of hope cry

And sink to the floor

To wait there and die...

When all hope fails, we turn within,

To where the quiet whispers sing,

The shadows cast by doubt and fear,

Become the echoes we hold dear.

The world outside, a storm of woe,

Each step we take, a heavy blow,

Yet in the heart, a spark remains,

A stubborn flicker in the veins.

We seek the solace of the night,

When dreams and memories ignite,

A past where joy and laughter reigned,

A future where the...

The chasm of the void calls to me

The instinct of fleeing would not benefit my well-being

But when all hope fails

Where do you go?

Do you plea to the gods ?

Hail to deities ?

Now get on your knees

Scratch your nails in the dirt

And pray that this won’t hurt

Let the emotions flow

Let your body drown

Because nobody can save you

Your body will never be found

Only you can be your sav...

When all things seem down

When all things seem really bad

When everything is crashing to the ground

When everything is making you feel so sad

There is always one thing we can rely on

There is always one thing we possess

That will not fade away, never be gone

That can help us get through this mess

That one thing is to wait

To wait until everything has passed

That inevitably is in a different sta...

God.

hopes comes from him.

we rely on him.

weather hope fails or achieves,

he’s the motor of our dreams.

hmmm, doubt enters our lives at some point.

We go to God with a genuine heart and he gives us back our hope we lost.

cause something made us lose it.

right?

life is full of falseness dressed in truth.

they say, “never lose hope”,

it’s possible,

yet difficult.

in between hides the spark we...

The sun dips low

The sidewalks darken

I frantically glance around

For any sign of light

But the sky

Steals it all

Every single flicker

Is gone within seconds

They all skip ahead

With their little firefly jars

While I’m left in the dusk

No flying insect in sight

The darkened sky

Dims every little starlight

In the depths of my

Newly hopeless soul

Like a broken seed

In a field of roses
