Let it be known

Hope vs Reality - a realization

Let it be known - I'm done with hope -
As hope is done with me.
It lead me on with bright gold dreams
that hid its falsity.
Let me believe - in truth and dues -
in fairness and in faith -
and then at first adversity -
proved fleeting as a wraith.
And as a wraith - hope - chill'd my heart -
and turned my dreams to ash.
It slammed the door and left the dark -
where light is feared to pass.
But in this dark - is comfort cold -
at least the dark is true -
no fickle hope to tear my soul
or rend my heart in two.

I can feel the feeling of hopelessness upon setting my eyes on this poem. It has torn my heart and it really awoke some inner struggles within me. I love how you elaborated on this. It was almost as if digging up some old emotions from the past. Now, I've come to reminisce my past once more with this poem. Love it. :)
