Climbing up a mountain,
Pulling yourself higher and
higher.
Out of the pit of misery.
Things seem to look brighter.
Grass is growing, Birds are
singing,
And the sun emerges from the
clouds.
Then you start to slip,
To lose your grasp,
And down you fall.
Not quite to the bottom,
Just teetering on a ledge,
Could you go over at any moment
Have you the strength to climb
again?
The pain of your cut soul
Burns like a fire,
The anger, hurt and frustration
Come flooding back into your
mind.
The fight for survival starts
again.
Overcome the fear,
Search for the holds,
Rely on the support from before.
I know it's going to be difficult,
But you did it once,
You can do it again.
Remember, you're not the only
one -
Out there are other climbers
Fighting their own battles,
Searching their own soul
And conquering their own
mountains.

Attitude is Everything
by Francis Altazar-Schwartz

Chapter 1

I walk down the street.
there is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost...I am helpless.
It isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.

Chapter 2

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don't see it.
I fall in again.
I can't believe I am in the same place.
Bit it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.

Chapter 3

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in....it's a habit.
My eyes are open.
I know where I am
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.

Chapter 4

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

Chapter 5

I walk down another street.

A angel kissed my tears away

A angel kissed my tears away
Today when I was sad
I wasn't feeling quite myself
My day had been so bad.

I felt a warmth brush by me
That Quickly dried my tears
A gentle, kind and loving touch
That seemed to hold me near.

Immediately, I felt so much better
And the day seemed brighter too
I guess that's just the way you feel
When an angel comforts you.
