The world is pinned down
I think of no future
I have no hopes left
I have nothing to lose
That is what keeps me going
The knowledge to conquer
I have no other reason left
I just need another chance
Once I have tried
To end this continuous feeling
Of hope and anticipation
That is forward to come
It cannot be extinguished
This feeling to succeed
This seed inside me
That is willing to go on
It is the thing that keeps us going
This sense of fortitude
This strength that ignites us
With everlasting faith
Author notes
This poem is not of the typical hope you see in movies, its the one we all have when nothing is left but the urge to go on and succeed, the strength that leads us to victory

Now this is a hope I could relate to. None of that hokey 'you'll grow up and be rich' hope, but the kind of real hope that we all have to draw on at some point during our lives.
The whole poem was quite well done, and suited the message you wanted to convey.
Your name reminds me of an artist, a tribute to him? -
Oh yes. I like this very much. It meets the criteria well.
form I like it. It has some rhythm to keep within its poetic art.
content I like how you build up to the fact that when we are at the end, our faith is what gets us to where we need to be!
Thank you for the entry and WELCOME to AllPoetry.... CookieZeal
