Tell me what y'all think of this poem

Lauren

This poem is based on some things I'm currently working through in my marriage. Lemme know what y'all think.

Hope Remains

All-consuming and never ending,

The back hole inside of me eats away at all joy.

I stretch out from the damp darkness in a banal attempt to grab hold of the light.

My fingers wrap desperately around an anchor, grounded in love, charity, and all things good.

The black hole lashes it's terribleness all around me, clinging to the depths of my soul as it gnaws at the optimism that resides there.

Pandora's box is flung open and the the Hope left inside trembles as the black hole expands.

It can neither run nor hide, but only attempt to disappear as it trys to save itself via concealment.

Fearing extinguishment, all it can do is the most horrible thing in the world: wait.

Wait for its fate to be decided by powers that would seek to destroy it.

But I cling to that anchor, for when given the chance, Hope flourishes....even in the worst of times, even in the face of extinction.

Rise up, Hope, claim your place in my soul as the force that controls within.

Banish the damp darkness of the black hole, nevermore to trouble us again.

You are the last defense...so don't give up now.
