Doubt is just fear cloaked in thought
How does it reappear – so unwelcome – so unsought
Once given serenity, how can I allow peace to escape my grasp
When I know what’s done is done, to leave the past to the past
These phantoms are not real – existing only in my mind
I’ve found a new way of treating myself and others
I am more gentle, I am more kind
Truly recovered from a hopeless condition of mind, body and soul
To help others find this peace is now the only goal
In surrender I find a strength far and wide
In surrender I finally cross over to the winning side
