When silence comes to surround you <br />and the past riles up to drown you. <br />Call upon your inner wealth <br /> when you've become a shadow of yourself. <br />Find your way through the disguise <br />of all your own lies. <br />Separate the real <br /> from all that you deal.. <br />With baby steps face the wrong <br /> and now the weakling is becoming strong. <br />Shaking off the cold <br />and the long winters hold. <br />Remember what was so real <br /> and how cotton cozy that made you feel. <br /> <br />Don't ever think it's too late <br /> to reclaim your God given fate. <br />Mercy and forgiveness play their role <br /> as pain and sorrow take their toll. <br />What ever road that we must face <br />there is no one else who can take our place. <br />So as we ride the tide let us come clean not hide..... <br />our champion spirit that lives inside.<br /><br />Edwin Baldwin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/antidote-for-hopelessness/
