When all hope is lost, what do we rely on?
Write a poem about what we turn to when we lose hope. Explore the emotions and challenges involved and how they're overcome.
This Man.
This man.
This man I love,
to the bottomless pits
of my being.
Lord, I love.
But I’ve lost hope.
I’ve lost hope
That we could ever be a family.
Or even friends.
I’ve lost hope.
This man I love,
I also hate.
Through his lies,
I frolic through,
the bees and butterflies.
The bees,
the buzzing,
of a new life ahead of me.
The butterflies,
the flying,
the sweet smell of freedom.
These shackles and chains,
I bare no more.
The tears may come,
But still I go.
There’s still hope,
beyond that door.
