Hopeful
Written by/Picture by: Tonia Clifton (Fiver Goodier)
She's lost, she doesn't know what to do.
Her emotions flow like their hatred.
As the guns blast in her ears,
they fall.
As she screams and cries for a lost love,
they scream and yell to win the war!
As she wonders how to move on with her life,
they prepare to die for their beliefs.
She wants to know how to build her self-esteem.
They wonder how to build their weapons.
She's on the cliff's edge, staring at the ocean below.
They're on the edge of life and death.
She sees her future.
They see their past.
She jumps for hope.
They jump for life.
She soars above all.
They fall for their love.
...
This poem was inspired by the saying:
"Sometimes you have to just make the jump, and build your wings on the way down." -Unknown

Lost in the Music
Music fills my soul. When life empties it I sing my heart out no matter how bad I am, because with each exhale of a lyric, is an exhalation of pain. Life isn't always perfect, and we all need that one thing to get us through the bad times. The difficult times that take our breath and steal our hope. I cry as I'm singing a verse from our favourite songs, to release the heartache that I can't bring to my lips. The pain that pulls so deeply, it rips the smile from my face. It makes my bones ache while it holds me close. So I put on my headphones, turn up the volume until it drowns out my fears, my pain. And I let go, until I have nothing left. Until I can sleep....
