Poet's Note: This poem was written by me and a friend of mine in school for an inter-house competition. I hope you like it :) This friend of mine just joined Wattpad and goes by the name @Shai_one

Fan her! I promise you won't regret it XD

Hope

Starvation

     Vulnerability

Destruction

     Poverty

We stick together

     We survive, we strive, we die…together

Hope

One word and its all better.

     One word and we hang on.

What for?

     To crash and burn,

To fall once again.

     And yet we believe

We hold on

Hope

One word – repeated – makes it better

One person repeats it, and suddenly

You’re lighter!

A breathe of confidence passes

through you and for a while, you’re

above and beyond

With a mind fired to succeed and

A heart…

A heart determined to climb a mountain that you once thought impossible.

Hope

But, when you fail…it’s the worst feeling in

The world.

You build yourself so high. Like a fool

You believed everything they said.

And when you stand once again at the beginning of the race,

You’re alone…you drown and burn in your sorrow…

Alone

You’re a failure and yet?! They repeat it…just so they can watch you fail?

So is that what it really is?

Hope?
