Bent Hope

A Poem

Photo by Rachel Clark on Unsplash

Bent hope tired back pulling weight all in the name of pressure

Corrupted lens lost sight no exit all in the name of fear

Distorted life crashed dreams lucid sadness all in the name of grief

Hope is a tether to our future, but it’s tenuous because we can’t hold it That vision of what will be when right now streams in front of us and plays a highlight reel of our inadequacies

Bent hope is pulling us under but just as quickly as it does, it can pull us back up to the surface again as the bend comes back around
