Endeavours of Grace Hugo Jepsen

'Endeavours of Grace: A Dystopian Poetry Book' creates a world where the individual can't be recognized for his own efforts - not being seen, heard or understood by its society. 'I kind of describe it as someone screaming in pain but the music is too loud in the room for anybody to listen to it. It's neither a happy nor a sad story - it's more of a declaration of what it feels like to suffer in silence.' (Endeavours of Grace: Classic Edition) I used the dystopian format as a form of criticism towards the general society of our own. The story itself is divided into 3 main chapters, 'Endeavours of Love, Endeavours of Injustice & Endeavours of Depression' - each chapter includes 7 poems and I specifically chose this number because it represents divinity in numerology. Some of these poems - which will be underlined on the chapter list - were already published in "Endeavours of Grace: Classic Edition". This was meant to give my readers the opportunity of having a taste of what would come. Chapter I: Endeavours of LoveKate & Kylemy prayerhe lovesbroken solitudeshooting starssleep wellthe power of two hearts"Many love stories were written throughout the millennia. It prevailed until today because I am (we are) still writing about it by attempting to explain what is felt. I (we) enjoy challenging the heart with our conscious beliefs. But can I (we)?"Chapter II: Endeavours of Injusticethis land of monstersocean deepsendeavours of gracecapital believerpovertyshipwreckskim of light"The world isn't equal, the world doesn't care - the world is divided by beliefs, political systems, religion, levels of education, by where someone is born, by their skin colour or for whom they love and/or feel attracted to, by fame, by how many followers they have on Social Media, by how much money they possess on their bank accounts, by how they dress or how they look in society, by how badly or well-furnished their homes are. "Chapter III: Endeavours of Depressionthe creatorno warriorbandaid of liesvicious dramaplaying with my deathwasted realityforever mine"What do I say about Depression: It eats you up from inside. It feels that you're being drained of energy. Nothing you do, nothing that other people do for you can please you enough. Sometimes, you don't eat because you feel unworthy of food; sometimes, you don't even cry because you don't feel like you have nothing to cry for. Your existence feels inhuman. You feel tricked by other people and your mind - a common question I ask myself is, "Is this real?"
