Hopelessness

Have a strange feeling

That's burrowed within

Can't pinpoint the cause

Not sure if it's reared it's head

Or clenched its claws,

Whatever type grip it is

I feel a void in my soul

Such an emptiness

Why me does it want to hold,

What is it beckoning for

I can't run

I can't hide

Not sure how long within

It will reside

How do I find much needed relief

From the hopelessness inside.

"Hopelessness" would be a good title. Hard to find your place when things are falling apart. I like the energy of the poem. Thank you form the excellent poem.

well its quite good but don' you think its a bit more empirical to write about.

somehow you captured the exact feelings that i'm feeling at the moment...the hopelessness....

[quinfinn]

well, i'm impressed because of the way you have given the depths of despair a personality and brought it to life. well done.
