Echo Me This

For a contest - The point of this poem is to spread the positive attitude given by faith. For we all had once fallen, we too, could get back up with a caring, compassionate attitude.

The mirror in front of me reflected everything I did.

I started to think to myself, "Echo me this."

I performed simple actions and rehearsed my lines.

Over and over again, I repeated the rhymes.

I wanted to bring this kind of peace to everyone else.

This attitude of mine was spiritual.

I wanted this kind of optimism to be shared and felt.

I took a stand at the church.

I put my hand over my heart and said, "Echo me this."

They followed my exact footsteps to rely in faith.

But little did we know, we all had felt the same.

We were depressed, neglected, and silenced.

We were left alone to be misguided.

However, our faith helped us carry on.

We, together, passed this along.

Our strength had given us more than power.

It gave us numbers.

The microphone never trembled in my hand

and as I said unto you all 

"Echo me this"

Will you continue to follow along?

I love this poem, I love the message you are saying through this piece. Sometimes I think some people may hear the word faith and instantly think of religion. That, as you know is not the case. Faith in ourselves is just as important as the faith some may have in an higher power. Faith is a very powerful thing, regardless to what or who we believe in. Wonderful, can't wait to read your other works.

Yeah, it's a huge concept in this world and people need to start putting faith in themselves so that way they can see life in a positive perspective. They could do it with God or without God they don't have to follow a religion, they just need to believe. Thanks again Angela :)
