Tormented Spirit, Rise Poem by Tender Heart

When hope is gone,
And all left is pain.
When shots of a gun
Are all that you gain.



When peace is gone,
And in your soul there's war.
When life is done,
And of pain you're sore.



When of tears, as well as
blood, you run out.
When you find yourself voiceless,
When you need to scream and shout.



When you think that life
Has given you its back.
When safety, love
And tenderness you lack.



When everything you know,
Has come to an end.
When time in this cruel world,
You no more want to spend.



Give it a second thought;
Life will surprise you.
Read what you wrote
When you were not blue.



Fight for it a little more,
In your self have faith.
Who knows what life has in store?
Life is an endless race.



Don't just give in,
And to cruelty surrender.
Don't let this life win,
Be your soul's defender.



Aim high, beyond your pain.
Keep your goal inside your heart.
You know it: 'NO PAIN, NO GAIN'.
Make your decision for a brand new start.



Forget the ones who let you down.
Embrace those who help you through.
And remember: when you're about to drown,
Hold on to a straw, till WE come save you...
