Analysis of False Hope



An unstable mind,
A set of mixed thoughts
Spreading like Covid
Unknown feelings
My mind screams.

Depressed and tired
Lonely and alone
Sobbing and hurting
Day and night
Repeatedly
My heart cries.

Hopes high
Higher than the tallest mountains
Higher than the Eiffel Tower
Way above the clouds,
Yet,
Nothing.
Just more screams.
More cries.
False hope.
