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.
the absence
Hope is like a candle
Flickering in the night
But what do you when it’s extinguished
The flame now naught to our eyes
But there it sits,
an invisible light inside
Waiting in the dark
Knowing it will ignite
For hope can never die
Fade away in the wind
It’s in our bones
Inked into the patterns of our skin
And when all else fails
And we have no real shot
We still hope to believe
Because in all truth,
that’s all we’ve got.
