In the corner of my mind

Trapped inside these four stretched walls,
Lies the answer.
It's a lonely walk to each corner,
Searching inconclusively for something
Someone, to weave together the broken pieces of my past.
Exhausted, I lay down.
I give up..
Not entirely, For in the corner of my mind,
Locked tightly away from my consciousness,
Holds the glistening key of hope.
A glimmer, a fraction of a second,
Is enough to silence the chaotic mess,
That roots itself so deeply in my mind.

A amazing poem. The mind can hide things and they can reappear.
"Searching inconclusively for something

The above lines I liked and I understood. Some puzzles are missing pieces. Can't be repaired. Thank you Dahlia for sharing the amazing poetry.

Hello Jackson H. Harley
Thank you for your kind words about my poem. I am glad that my words are relatable for people. I think when we find something that speaks to us personally, it can offer lengths of comfort to us, so I am glad you enjoyed it. And thank you for your compliments! Your words uplift me.

You wrote this piece so well! I really liked this, it's so true, though, that hope is everything, cuz it gives us strength and lead us to happiness. You explained it so well! Keep writing.

I am so glad you enjoyed this! I agree with you there, hope can unlock those darky alleys we often find our minds in, one of my favourite songs holds the line 'Hold on to hope if you got it, don't let it go for nobody' and I agree so much with those words. Thank you for taking the time to comment on my work, it is deeply appreciated.
Love,Dahlia

I have walked that walk for years,,,you play it well with your word choices

I give up..
Not entirely, For in the corner of my mind,
Locked tightly away from my consciousness,
Holds the glistening key of hope.
A glimmer, a fraction of a second,
Is enough to silence the chaotic mess,
That roots itself so deeply in my mind.

My favorite bit...
