With nothing to look forward to
and no hope for the future
with New Year's upon us
it's time to take stock.
Look at this life
day by day as I go
nothing is keeping me here
just the uneasiness of the unknown.
Pack up my bag and choose what's for keeps
I need a new view to gaze on
to compare what was
to what could be if I chose to stay.
I want to find the feel of belonging
that I’ve looked for since I was young.
The feeling of love and sense of being
the dream I hoped would come.
I would like a handsome man that will stay with me
through my long life and after death,
who would look at me when we grow old
and say, 'We are in love'.
Please tell me what you think

This was nice to read. It was simple and does a good job conveying the feeling of hopelessness. It's so sad and depressing though, but many people in life do feel this way. I like the way the poem flows. I love the second and fourth stanzas especially; they sound really good. I think the poem would have been better if you hadn't dragged the "handsome man" thing into it, but then again, it's your poem and you know best. I would have chosen another reason for her to give up hope, or else would have gone unto more detail about the man. Anyways, thanks so much for sharing this
