I'm pretty sure we've all given up on hope.

I've always preferred the dark.
And I still do.
But I've lost the light in my life, leaving it hard for me to see anything.
It's like trying to see into a dark room without a flash light.
I entered this dark room alone, leaving my loved ones outside the door.
It seemed like an adventure at first, but it's getting darker and darker.
Actually, the light I once saw has now completely disappeard.
And I'm left clueless on how to get out.
I'm just walking in circles.
I use to hope that one day the light would reappear, leading me out.
I hoped that everyone would be waiting for me at the end.
I hoped that maybe someone would try to find me.
I'm pretty sure we've all given up on hope.

I myself have always liked the darker side of things in life but when a dark situation becomes a little too much for me to handle I typically do not turn to something positive. Well done, I loved this poem. The emotions are strong and understandable. Negativity is something that rules over many peoples lives.Some people will say that the ones that are being ruled by it had decided to let it get that bad when that is not always the case. Sometimes it just consumes you.

Just remember that even if you won't look up to the stars in the sky at night or to the sun during the day, it doesn't mean that light isn't there.

I like this piece, it really explains the state of mind of one that has "given up on hope"
I tend to agree with the other reviewer, the long lines could be broken up as he suggested with detracting from the poem.
Nice work, I look forward to reading more from you.

hope never dies, it only waits for you to receive it... light is a gift, and as all gifts it can only be as such if it is received. you can find yourself... others may "give up" that is their choice, you cant control that. what you can however control is your will to not give up. I too have been in dark places, its not easy to find the light, but what worth has anything that comes easy?

starting from negative n at last turning out into positive .....good concept ....thoughts are good ......but acording to me its better to break the line n start from new one rather continuing in the same one
