Hopeless

24-Jan-2020

I can personally relate to this poem. Even after facing disappointments, I keep hoping to find someone new but I end up making a fool out of myself. I get so dejected that I decide to never try again. If I won't try, I won't get disappointed. Easy. Maybe I am being too pessimistic, but I have already tried optimism and it didn't do any wonders. Instead, it broke my heart every single time.

I let my heartbeats go amok

I released my dreams out of sleep

I got rid of all the shackles on my feet

I puked out all the past memories

I soaked in all my tears into the skin

I've prepared myself to feel again

I unlock the door

My hopeful eyes searching

My empty hands holding out

But there's no one to embrace

No haven

My soul sinks into my body

I turn back sheepishly and shut the door forever
