Rise Up By Stacie M Shuart   The burning fire in our soul Has not been doused Past and present mesh together Consuming every second of the day With painful memories and with nightmares Of events we can no longer change We must Rise Up Rise Up from our perilous past Rise Up from our torment Rise Up from the burning embers of the ash Bring peace back into our lives That plagues us on a daily basis Sisters and Brothers we must Unite as one Stand together and conquer our abusers Stand together and conquer our disorders We must bring about love and harmony Stop hurting one another Stop fighting with one another Rise Up and Unite We must become one To defeat the monster that is within And only then will we begin to live In peace and harmony   All Rights Reserved © Written August 9, 2006
