Getting Over It If I suddenly become optimistic, In so doing, shed my gloomy side - Allowing myself to accept as true The layering of this euphoria, Do I run the risk of loss Like overconfident people do? Should I tamp down this urge to smile, Worry over what I cannot control, Resist and destroy every prospect Wallowing in unworthiness? Hell, I think I’ll take my chances, Then my only regrets will be That I didn’t take more before. © 2000 Corinne Bailey [This message has been edited by Corinne (edited 08-15-2000).] |

very optimistic and definitely the way to face the world....you will continue to shine if only in desire alone. Beautiful verse from you...now how about accepting a challenge or two.  |
