  Convictions Within By: Danielle Chidester Take the smoke screen away And all you see is gray. Loose the fantasy within And your life will fade. The reality of it all Will never quite sink in. You never know the time Of the beginning or the end. The world as we know it Is not a silly game. You don’t run a race Finish last and win the fame. So this is what you do And this is what you say. Grab the world by its ears And say “I’ll never fade.”
