POEM STARTER
Submitted by delilah
When all hope fails, what do we rely on?
Write a poem or story on what we turn to when we lose hope. Think about the emotions and problems that occur when this happens, and how it's dealt with.
Try
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 myself so far
Past my limit
I made myself **die**.
My eyes **sigh**
My heart **cries**
What more could I have done?
What more could I still do?
Everything I worked forβ¦
_I will never achieve. _

To my younger self,
I **apologize**
To my future self,
**Why**?
To my present self,
What now?
If thereβs nothing more I can **try**β¦
I must rest.
My eyes **sigh**
My heart **cries**
My smile **dies**
So I must **lie**
****
Down to rest.
Perhaps tomorrow
I will **try**
****
**Again.**
