No Hope

No Hope

A Poem by Tori Jones

People don't understated 
The way I feel
For I am in pain
And need to be healed
For I am depressed
And cannot comprehend
The faults and mistakes
I have committed
For I am cracked in two
And running further from hope
But also love
Because I have faults
And I have hurts
I tried to have love
But it was destroyed
And I was left 
With no hope or comfort 
And now I am once again alone
But also prone
To be drug into another sin 
All because love couldn't win
And save me from all of
My dirty sins...
So now I'm without hope once again

The world is too big to forever feel alone, I felt that way once. When I was in high-school my parents were divorcing and at that age I felt i could hardly handle the weight. I would go to the bathroom in the middle of class where no one could see the pain I was in. The truth in it though, is that the world is too big to forever feel alone, there are people who care, and want to see you happy. For me it was an ex, and a very specific counselor. At the time I wouldn't tell him much, just enough to keep my chest away from that cracking feeling that sent me to the bathroom, trying to piece myself back together. When I graduated I realized that the past seventeen years of my life, were not going to dictate how I moved forward, I got a job and found a place and believe it or not, was very happy. Those moments of happiness are magic, they are proof that hope and faith are not pointless beliefs, And even though the temptation to see the worst in life, causes us to never forget the things that hurt the most, the power of optimism can over rule that temptation. To this day I struggle to forget the things that hurt and I strive to remember the things that didn't, few and far between as they may seem to be, they exist. Good memories for me, are like nuggets of gold in a stream - hidden at first, laying among the riverbed, but if you work you can find them and than the choice is yours whether you want to sell that gold, or cherish it. Good luck Tori, I know depression is hard, but inner peace is not a myth, you just have to work for it.

Having no hope is one of the worst feelings that one can endure; it's one thing to feel pain, but it's quite another to feel like that pain will never end, especially when we think it's our own fault. I applaud the brutal honesty of this piece; everything feels true and heart-felt. Remember this: You can rise above anything -- no matter how difficult it may seem. Sometimes, happiness can come when we least expect it. Wish you all the best.

Thank you...
This is very deep and is greatly worded. Okay so you have sin as have we all me way more them most. But I am ready to be judged I have accepted those sins and every time they cone back to bite me. I don't run I deal with then because I am not alone neither are you. Don't fear your past don't fear the future and don't fear the present. Live for you and no one else you are loved by the world and your in it for a reason or it would of had you gone along time ago. There are no mistakes just choices. No good or bad ones either. You do not need to live in the past. Live in the moment the easy way to live is second by second. You must do what makes you happy and not care. You can deal with the repercussions when you get to them. For noe live to live. Your friend a mad lord

Our mistakes are sometimes opportunities to change things, it's an opportunity to look back and take on a new challenge.... use all avenues of self improvement .....there are so many to choose from, find one that you relate to..... your writing has emotional power.....so do you !

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your review...
This piece is so relatable, and I understand fully how it feels when I was dragged to do something that I knew I would hate myself. Being loved is sometimes a distant luxury. Seeking it, and ending up getting harmed and broken even more. Share this burden with the ones who understand, and the pain will be reduced.

well written you have a lot of self hate it is sad to see. it is good to write if it heals you keep doing it if drives you down stop that is one of the philosophies i live my life by as soon as writing stops being cathartic i will stop. hating yourself wont make you progress in fact it will just lead you to same mistakes. live so you wont make the mistakes again learn and grow my heart goes out for you crap happens in life and it is not always necessarily directly our fault it may not be the case with you but your only without hope if you believe it keep pushing forward and have hope that things will get better even if it seems impossible if you lost hope there is no point in trying because what is their to look forward to ?

I can actually feel a connection with your poem, I know the feelings very well and I can tell you I have witnessed depression in my life... I'm telling don't stop believing, feel the emotions now but keep believing that this will pass, it may take some time but it will, don't give up...

Note : in the fourth line will it be 'further'?

Sincerely
