[hometext] => Hmmm...i am writing a second part to this. The message is basically, there is always hope....you just have to find it.
[bodytext] => She walks the streets in hopeless wonder,
Curiously searching the darkest alleyways with her mind,
She searches for nothing and everything,
Shelter, a place to survive the night,
Sor this hopeless crusade called life is beating her,
And her broken box is where she abides,
A blanket pulled up around her shoulders,
And a hopelessness sunk into her eyes,
Refusing to give up the struggle and fall into sorrow,
But living for nothing except the dream of a good life.
These holes have been her home for too long,
Too many days to count since she lost her way
A girl that once had all she could ask for,
The prom queen who would have everything one day,
Her life screaming with happy ever after,
Now fallen into filth and decay,
And now people walk past and mock her,
For she and her friends used to do the same,
Now they don’t even want to know her,
Just point and laugh as she hides in shame.
She knows she is strong enough to survive this,
Hope is the only thing keeping her alive.

I really like some of these images. The alleyways of her mind, the hopelessness sunk into her eyes, the holes that have been her home. Nice stuff.

You've done beautifully.

Keep 'em coming. :-D
Lots of love and peace be with you,

I always wonder about the tragedy that caused them to be in the situation. Phil, this is a wonderful write. Like Jarred, I await the next part. You have a wonderful heart and a wonderful storyline here.
Hugs,

You say the last two lines just fell? Well, I think they add to the expectation of part two! Begin with those lines, that would be cool! I really like this poem of life that many know of, but few recognize. Wonderfully portrayed.

My apologies for taking so long to get here... but - oh! I'm glad I did. I'm with Stitch on this one... you've stuffed this full of very wonderful, descriptive phases.
The power of this piece is in the reality of it. You've done an incredible job with this poem... focusing it on the thoughts and the history of the subject rather than the immediate circumstance.
Terrific write!
