The Tiny Town of No Hope

The night dawned on the tiny town of No Hope.

Cut wires lie at the end of every empty alley.

Hope withers as bodies hang limply by rope,

forever falling in the illimitable valley.


The town of No Hope remains in the darkness.

Paths winding and warping, dying at every turn.

The people hold razors, testing their sharpness,

ignoring the wary winds of deep concern.


I am one stuck in the tiny town of No Hope.

I have lost life, knowing it will never return.

Rivers bleed on an everlasting downward slope,

consuming perpetual, black flames, feeling the burn.


In the tiny town, there is no way to cope.

In the tiny town is the feeling of everlasting hope.


The author's comments:

I hope that this poem is able to reach people who relate and feel like they are alone in their own minds. I also hope to express my internal pain to make others who do not relate to me understand how my mind works. I want this piece to be able to make at least a few people feel less lonely in this world and know that help is always available and that they are never truly alone, even if it feels that way.
