Writing Resources from Fifteen Minutes of Fiction
The following is a piece of writing submitted by Hannah on February 22, 2008
"I want the reader of this poem to try to figure out what it means. What it means to them, not just to the writer."
Failing Hope
I sit quietlyMy brain running
A hundred miles a minute
I look over to my radio
Playing my favorite record
Girl bands singing of lost love
Boy bands singing of love found
I take a deep breath
I breathe long and hard
My heart skips a beat
I feel the weight on my chest
The heavy, dead weight
The familiar weight of times lost
Of hope needed
"As long as there is life
there is hope"
