    What Is Hope.....

     My soul tries to escape it's haunted existence.
    I look for comfort,
    but all I find is agony and pain.
    A liffe full of lies and torture is all I know.
    Hurt and sorrow are my middle name.
    Ghosts of dead dreams surround me.
    Nightmarish memories tear at me constantly.
    Without a warning,
    my soul collides into another obstacle.
    Then more destruction unleashes and flows through me.
    Fears of what awaits me around each corner,
    smother me continuously with each breath I take.
    I wonder,
    how can I go on?
    Is there hope for me?
    Will this vicious circle of torture and destruction ever end?
    No not for me,
    bbecause all hope has been DENIED.

    Ooh when the words ran throughmind I got chills, however I can help you make your poem better.First thing watch your spelling. I tell this to all aspiring poets most of them listen some are just plain stubborn. Instead of hurt and sorrow is my middle name. Why don't you write Sorrow and pain is my name You are very talented your word choice just needs a little tweaking and though I think that you wrote this as a soliloque and as such it reads very well stanza breaks are used for a reason they give the reader a moment to pause and catch his breath before digesting the next lines. Let me take a stab at this and suggest that you wrote this in one day perhaps a couple of hours maybe, In any case I feel that your gift of description is wonderful however I feel also that it does need tweaking.though.

    I love this poem. I felt like this when I was younger. My mom dated many a men who would say what she wanted to hear and then when they started being assholes I got the butt end of the stick. I stood by her side defending her to these men and (literally) fighting for our lives. I always wondered if things were ever going to get better. I'm 30, life is great and I do not want a man in my life, especially if they have no respect for themselves.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
