The Beast in my Brain
Hope
How do i find hope
When my mind is a labrynth of pain
When my heart has been shredded
As if attacked by the white hot claws
Of the beast in my brain
A beast that feeds on hope
And hoards happiness
In some unknown corner of my mind
And in my darkest moments
When anxiety is strong
The beast wakes up
And prowls all night long
But theres a crack in my walls
And through it comes light
And when there is light
The beast will not fight
I chip away at the crack
Until I can see
All the light in the world
Shining down on me
Like liquid hope filling my veins
And all my happiness unchained
I see a magnificent world
With hope finally in my eyes
And to the vicious anxiety beast
I say my forever goodbyes.

I wrote this for my best friends mother because we were both going through a rough time and she asked me to write about hope.
I usually end my poems on a much darker note ut for her i ended it in a good place because she needed to know that there is a way to escape the maze in your mind and fight the figurative beast tha lurks within it.
