Hope
#WritcoPoemPrompt11
The days were unending as were the nights,
She waited and waited and waited,
But there seemed no hope in sight…

- Well that's depressing.
She just being stuck there, stressing.
Her thoughts winding round, compressing.

Maybe she waited by a window pane
and let each tear drop like rain
knowing all her dreams were in vain.

Maybe she tried and filled her tub with water
Thinking that this is how death will get her
Forgetting about the life of her daughter.

Maybe financial troubles caught her
and then life seemed to falter
and then the rest just didn't matter.

Or maybe.....these thoughts didn't stop her!
Maybe she collected herself off of the ground and fought off 'em!
Maybe she restarted her life, reborn again

But in all honesty,
and all too often it seems
people give up all too easily...

They leave behind their families and friends
They forget that they could've left a legacy instead
of the trajedy that accompanies the memories they've made.

So, this girl, whoever she is
I hope she finds that hope inside of herself
because my hope still burns for her, even if she can't see it

But my hope will forever burn
And my hope will forever yearn
for this girl to fight off the bad in the world

Stand up for herself and to make amends
To stand up and fight off the demons at both ends
Because I know she can do it; Amen.
