Sounds of pain escape from the dust hands reaching up from the crust of their worlds which have fallen down in their misery they try not to drown not giving up without a fight their will to live has reached a new height Hope for the damned They won't give in to others demands Living a life of their own Doing what others don't condone Hope for the damned Forgetting what others try to command Their self worth has been bruised Leaving them dazed and confused They have been knocked down To where their thoughts have been confound By the time they reach ground zero They will be their own hero Hope for the damned They won't give in to others demands Living a life of their own Doing what others don't condone Hope for the damned Forgetting what others try to command They will not give into others wants Living with the pain of their taunts Their independence will not cease Everyone else they will not appease They will not be what they are not For their souls cannot be bought |

  (sad sigh) Such truths and depths are explored here, sweet friend, to see hope among the hopeless is such a heartwrenching sight and I only wish we all could do more for their needs, this is a powerful debut, God Bless You! Welcome to Passions, sweet Melanie, may you be inspired by all of us here as we will all be inspired by your lovely words! I can't wait to read more of your lovely words, sweet friend, we all love you so much, and be sure to check your E-mail for a very special greeting from all of us here at Passions just for you! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Melanie, thank you for sharing!   May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

There are so many lines of hope in this poem that are not at first apparent without a good reading...but yes, like gems, there they are. Welcome to Passions! Let us know if you have any questions or need help in getting around our various forums. Karilea |
