Hope Springs Eternal?
Just a little quickie, based on the phrase: "Hope springs eternal".

Hope springs eternal?
Fear damns infernal!
Survival rages,
against memory: engages.
Pain is mine, internal.

The quiet moments: dreaded,
ghosts of the past: embedded.
Avoiding contemplation,
flailing in frustration.
Youthful innocence: shredded.

A glimmer of hope! Fleeting.
Through lessons learned: retreating.
Afraid to trust,
in a world unjust.
Cycle forever repeating.
