Hope

I’m told to cling on to life and hold on to hope

It’s hard not to laugh at that old joke

I think I get it, I really do

But this storm in my chest, if you only knew

​

I want to hold out for as long as I can

To power through ‘till I can no longer stand

To be happy again is my singular want

Telling me to smile is a sickly taunt

​

Every day I suffer with echoes of the past

When I’m lying in bed, the minutes don’t move fast

I fantasize about relief one day

I wonder how long it’ll take to be okay
