Wrapped Myself In Hope Searching for self-esteem Still I could never find mine So I sought perseverance Then knew I would be fine Years of feeling worthless Having done nothing wrong Finding my inner strength Patience helped me along The put me down remarks Always left me feeling low So I put on that brave face So no one could ever know Finding ability to overcome From learning how to cope Behind my protective shell I wrapped myself in hope Ridding the internal doubts Knowing I have every right Building of my confidence I encourage myself to write HopeĀ©2003 |

Hope, A wonderful way to discover more about ourselves both in journaling and poetry and seeing that which we need to change. I've learned much about myself from reading other's poetry. Sometimes with a sense of "It seems you wrote this just for me" Glad you wrote this encouraging piece. Enjoyed. Hugs, Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons..

I really enjoyed this piece alot. In Hope is the best place to be... I too started writing poetry to make it through the difficult and, seemingly, unbearable times. Though, I'm young, 15, I've found and amazing solace in the peace of writing. here's to Hope, and writing Always, Alyssa - And so it was that time stood still - |

(sigh) Yes, always write your heart out as that is what produces the hope and encouragement we all can use to fuel ourselves with pride!
