April 12th (day 12)
ALL GROWN UP
What should one
do when ones hope has gone?
Where everything
tried has all gone wrong,
Hope has deserted now only despair
Everything now
seems so unfair
Once I had a
future but now I have a past
Once I would win
but now I come last
Can’t find the strength
to attempt another deal
Agony and agony a
failure I feel
Live day to day
what else have I got
Endless reminders
of which I have not
Once I wanted everything.......... Oh how I wanted it all
Now my dreams survival and a
wage of petty small..

April 13th (Day 13)
Integrity
To go against everything that you know
And not be afraid of fear to show
To refuse what is good for you and accept which is bad
When all common sense is calling you mad
To reach deep within and grasp which is right
To stand up and be counted though no solution is in sight
To stick by your honour when you know it means pain
To show perseverance when they call you insane
To feel content when you’re cast out alone
No one’s as lonely as a king lost his throne
To start at the beginning when your achievements went far
And hide the secret that your soul is so scarred
To lose everything that you have ever known
Be proud of your nakedness, honour flesh and bone
Your flesh may be bound but your soul remains free
It’s how deep you look as to how far you see.
Joseph Henry Gaines
