Hope

Seeing not so clearly;

Want but never need;

Hold it still --

It struggles much;

Never let it feed

 

It breaks against its prison

Though the bars may hold it keen;

its rage still gives the will we break;

Die it will not heed;

 

It screams against the darkness;

Gnaws against despair

Keep it down and listen not

Tomorrow doesn't care.

Now this is a piece I can relate to!
I am not a big fan of hope myself...
Still, the cold-hearted emotion stalks me...

A very well-written piece, you have here.
One, I very much enjoyed.

Note: Is that to be "feet" or "feat" in the first stanza? I'm not quite sure...

Great write!

Interesting poem, well written. I like the tone, kind of "on the edge". It gives me the feeling of despair, yet I still fell the desire of relentless hope... I read it over several times and I really like this poem... Thank you for sharing it...
