With all seeming to be lost there is still that glimmer of hope that keeps us going. While the outside world can tend to look bleak and can at times sweep up an individual in the madness of living, there is still a choice we all can make. We can give in to the chaos and become lost in the crowd or we can choose to find that place within ourselves where we know true peace. A simple choice, to be consumed or to break free. Continue with the status quo might give you momentary relief but to find one's true meaning could give you so much more!!! These poems were givin' in the hope that those that read them might be inspired to keep seeking for that silver lining.
