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.


The author's comments:

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.
