When hope is gone, <br />And all left is pain. <br />When shots of a gun <br />Are all that you gain. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />When peace is gone, <br />And in your soul there's war. <br />When life is done, <br />And of pain you're sore. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />When of tears, as well as <br />blood, you run out. <br />When you find yourself voiceless, <br />When you need to scream and shout. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />When you think that life <br />Has given you its back. <br />When safety, love <br />And tenderness you lack. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />When everything you know, <br />Has come to an end. <br />When time in this cruel world, <br />You no more want to spend. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Give it a second thought; <br />Life will surprise you. <br />Read what you wrote <br />When you were not blue. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Fight for it a little more, <br />In your self have faith. <br />Who knows what life has in store? <br />Life is an endless race. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Don't just give in, <br />And to cruelty surrender. <br />Don't let this life win, <br />Be your soul's defender. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Aim high, beyond your pain. <br />Keep your goal inside your heart. <br />You know it: 'NO PAIN, NO GAIN'. <br />Make your decision for a brand new start. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Forget the ones who let you down. <br />Embrace those who help you through. <br />And remember: when you're about to drown, <br />Hold on to a straw, till WE come save you...<br /><br />Tender Heart<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tormented-spirit-rise/
