What better way to capture the essence of hopelessness on the fly than with a poem? In moments of despair, when words seem to escape us, poetry becomes a refuge, a vessel through which we can pour out our emotions and find solace. Here is a poem that delves into the depths of hopelessness, exploring the relentless cycle of feeling broken and the yearning for fleeting happiness.
Why is it that I feel
so hopeless, so often?
Like I can't go a week without
feeling broken.
I pass the time and breath,
waiting for a happy moment.
Planning what I'd do, or with whom
to share that happy feeling.
This poem captures the raw vulnerability of experiencing recurring hopelessness. The speaker’s introspection and candid expression of their struggles create an intimate and relatable piece. The act of planning for happiness, even amidst despair, highlights the enduring human spirit that clings to hope, no matter how elusive it may seem.
In the end, this poem serves as a reminder that even in our darkest moments, we seek connection and joy. It is a testament to the resilience of the human heart, which continues to hope and plan for better days. By putting these feelings into words, the poem offers a sense of understanding and comfort, reminding us that we are not alone in our struggles. Poetry, after all, is a powerful tool for healing and reflection.
