what does hope give me?
Location
To have hope or not to have hope that is the question?
Without hope my soul would wander aimlessly
Waking up each morning with no motivation
Feeling as if the day is damned for doom
Just giving in and allowing the cancer to take over every inch
Of my father’s weakened body
Laying in my bed like a permanent grave
Life without hope would be a breathing death
Hope gives me faith
Hope has carried my family through the trenches of hell
Has lifted our heads from distress
Allowing us to smile through the storms that come
Takes me through trials and tribulations
So I can come out on the top
Making the steps I take seem lighter
And taking tons or burdens off my shoulders
Hope gives me something to look forward to
Gives me a sense that there is a light at the end of this dank
Infested tunnel I’m walking
Hope keeps me at sane
I will never allow hope to slip away
Even if the world changes, I’ll stay the same
I will not allow myself to be trapped
And hopeless again
For you don’t have to live my life
So you can choose what fits you
For me I need hope
It’s the foundation to my soul

no good or bad poetry just emotion. Yours was full of it and i loved it. You described that hopeless feeling very well. wakeing up without any motivation sounds exactly right. Good piece and keep writing also hold onto that hope and if you want your poetry style to improve it helps to listen to other poets. If you are interested i know of many amazing artists you could look up.
