This is not a poem, I think. It
doesn't follow standard format. But it's something I wrote, and I didn't know
where to post it. I hope you all enjoy.

Perseverance
It becomes a struggle
An endless war
Waging upon darkness
Seeking light in our quest
Answers elude our search
A truth no longer there
Voids in which we struggle
Remnants of hope we once possessed
Captions of life
Unfairness to those fair
It's no longer balanced
A war we once won
Answers forecome
Deepest into our souls
We seek, further into the light
Although it flickers, and fades
Dreams once lost
Memories of hope
Too deep into our minds
We lose
We struggle
We gain
It's a never ending fight
This hope we keep
This hope we have
This hope we need
It's primal, it's true
Conquest of those dreams
A recollection of memories
A deep hurt once lost
A deep hurt, not forgotten
Hail those who persist
Hail those who live
... hail those who still hope
A prayer, true, alight
Will reach the highest of heavens
A faint memory of love
And one day
Happiness will come
A sadness, an oblivion will become
A war waged, won and forgotten
A new hope, alive and breathing
Hail those who know how to love...
