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.

When All Hope Is Lost, What’s Next?

Poetry

The metal blade

Sharp on my skin

The pain

So exhilarating

I’ve always been afraid to do this

But now…

I don’t care

The heat is satisfying all my deeper pains

By bringing them to the surface

The agony of the cuts

Encompasses the pains from below

I love the look of the blood

The “battle scars”

That nobody is allowed to see

Except me

I know this is wrong

But the feeling and the urge

I need to calm it

My hope has been gone

So when all hope is finally lost,

Is this what we rely on?
