I can’t seem to settle,
What does that mean ?
That I should be somewhere else
living my dream ?

Of when this is over
My conscience clear,
The aching subsided
Eroded, the fear that perhaps I will fail.

But what does that mean to have given your best
To be judged on the facts,
But  the way things appear ?
Obscuring the vision, distorting the clear,
View of what true success is,
And exists within here.

I say this with hand on upon heart you see,
Because now  more important is the light within me.
Once it was faded now shining bright
I will not be defined by what others deem right
- the end is insight.

I like the strength you convey in this poem.
The light within you is more important than anyone's opinion.  Trust yourself and be your own person.
~~very nice writing~~

Welcome to Passions! True, success isn't always about the "facts". Thank you for reminding us so beautifully. I hope to see more of you around here soon!

"Believe in yourself
Right from the start
Believe in yourself
Right from the heart
Believe in yourself
Your whole lfe through...
Just believe in yourself
Like I believe in you."

Never compromise your beliefs and morals for another. Be strong!! That's what this poem says to me!

Love and hugs,
Lizzie
