No Hope Poem by CATHY DAVIS

NO HOPE,
MY LIFE WAS RUINED BY A LIE OF P'S AND S'ES
THEY COULD NOT TELL THE TRUTH
THEY MURDERED MY MOTHER AND DOG
AND MADE ME HOMELESS AND FOR FIVE YEARS WONDERED PARTS OF THE COUNTRY, SEARCHING FOR KINDNESS AND SOMEONE THAT WOULD CARE ABOUT ME, THE ME THAT
I AM INSIDE. NOT THIS FASADE ON THE OUTSIDE.
I SEE THE SUN AND FEEL THE HEAT BUT IN MY SOUL ALL I SEE IS DARKNESS, REAL HAPPINESS ELUDES ME.
I WANT TO SMILE AGAIN FOR REAL, I WANT TO BE HAPPY AGAIN FOR REAL. HOWEVER I HAVE TO ACT AT BEING HAPPY, NO ONE TO LOVE OR HELP ME, I SEE DARKNESS IN A SUNNY DAY. IF I WAS RAN OVER BY A TRAIN, NO ONE TO CARE ABOUT ME, LET THE TRUTH RING OUT, SO I CAN BE ME, LET THE LIARS BE PUT AWAY SO THEY CAN DO NO MORE HARM, LETS COMMUICATE IN ONE SO WE CAN UNDERSTAND EACHOTHER.LET FREEDOM RING AGAIN AND PUT THE TERROIST AWAY. SO AS I GO EACH DAY I SURVIE, BUT I AM NOT A SURVIOR, A SURVIOR LIVES AND SEE THE LIGHT, I SEE ONLY DARKNESS. SO AS I WALK INTO THE LIGHT I SEE THE SOUL OF DARKNESS THERE AND NOTHING ELSE. I MOUNT THE STEED OF NEVERMORE AND HE TAKES ME TO MY FINAL REST, THIS IS WHAT I SEE EVERYDAY NO HOPE, NO REAL JOY. I WILL END THIS NOW AND WHEN YOU SEE ME GIVE ME HOPE AND HELP ME GET THE TRUTH OUT SO I CAN WRITE ABOUT THE LIGHT AND NOT THE DARKNESS THAT HAS OVER TAKEN ME BECAUSE OF THE P AND S LIARS.
