It's true that hope can hurt.
Like in times of heartbreak or
rejection,
when we dared to hope for more
than we were ultimately given.
We hope to be finally understood,
to have someone witness our darkest
demons
and stand against them with us,
instead of running away in fear or
horror.
We hope to find that we're not too
broken,
that we're not just shards of glass
scattered across a cold cement floor,
waiting to be swept up and thrown out.
We hope for so much,
and then heartbreak stomps its way in,
crushing our deepest hopes
as we're forced to say goodbye.
But for all of hope's pain,
hopelessness is a worse affliction -
the belief that we will never be
understood,
that we truly are too broken.
Because when we find ourselves lost,
disconnected and alone,
hope is sometimes all we have:
the hope of finding help,
of rescue.
