Why do I
Allow myself
To hope for love
When time after time
The hope comes crashing down
Brings dark black despair
Agony beyond all knowing
Yet time after time
I pick myself up
Treat the heart’s wounds
And go on
Hoping for love

My name is Devin Hogg. I was born and raised in Carnarvon, Ontario, Canada. I moved to Guelph, Ontario, Canada in 2009 for university and lived here ever since. In my free time, I enjoy reading, watching TV and movies, going on long walks, swimming, and practicing Chen style Tai Chi. I love to write poetry and blog regularly about topics such as mental health, sci-fi/fantasy series, faith, sexuality, and politics. View more posts
