Desperate Hope

Don't do this to me, I'm dying inside Everytime it happens, all I want is to forget So I'll say 'everything is ok' Peace worth so much that I could do that Existence felt forever entwined Reality bites, I can no longer rest in the peace Awareness of how it'll be broken stark Trained into me now is oncoming dread Eternity lies ahead of me, I can't hold my breath How do I get from here to there Operation 'survival' Please let this be the right thing to do Eyes open, as hard as it is - trust myself

such a wise, deep, and powerful Acrostic! I loved 'reality bites'. You asked a question many of us ask ourselves, "how do I get from here to there....I agree with you, trust in one's self. Am faving this one, hugs, Sara

Thank you Sara, I appreciate your support. It's not nice to think of desperate hope as those situations tend to be tough ones.

I can no longer rest in peace... we've all been there.. If we cannot trust ourselves, how will others trust us.. right? This is a deep and personally emotive acrostic... You did it very well..
