Be who you are and say what you want, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
Theodore Geisel (Dr. Seuss)


What if you had no one,
No one to call a friend.
What if you had nothing,
Nothing that made you happy.

At those times what do you do?
Do you search in vain?
Do you search for something?
That will never appear
Why do you keep any shred of hope?

I guess that's all we need.
Just on small piece of hope.
That's all you need in the end.
To keep you moving.
To keep you strong.
To keep you alive.


The author's comments:
I wrote this piece because i think a lot of teenagers give up hope and let it spiral down but they need to realize that hope is an extremely powerful emotion.

Favorite Quote:
Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame,
Where there is a flame someone's bound to get burned.
Just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die,
You've got to get up and try.

I absolutely love your point that was written so beautifully it inspired me:) I completely agree, with hope, you can pursue anything in life. I'm in love with this poem

I really like this, a lot of teenagers would be able to relate to it. And the picture you chose to go with it fits really well.
