I have been defeated so many times before, but I have picked myself up from off of that cursed floor. How many times can I lose without finally giving in? How often must I fall before I finally win? Thought things had started to change; that I was indeed on the right track, I just wanted to move ahead without ever looking back. Things are not always the way that they might seem, and life is not that simple; it's not just a happy dream. Now I carry the scars born of defeats from the past. With time, the wounds will heal and only the scars will last. Oh, I might face defeat time and time again; but I'll rise up from the floor, because I KNOW where I have been. (REPOSTED..as a much needed reminder....) On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free. ~Me~ (I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the dance~Garth) [This message has been edited by Gentle Spirit (edited 11-08-2001).] |

Donna, I couldn't add a thing. Yes, sometimes we need a gentle reminder of how strong we really are! Way to go! -befriend yourself and you will never be alone- |

Well written, It is a tough lesson to learn, to continue but once learned it serves well, keep getting up, keep on going and keep on writing. Gloom |

May I echo what everyone else has posted? The ability to pick yourself up each time you fall is a testament to your inner strength and resolve to be a winner in your life's story. And I really, really like what Balladeer said. 'Tis true. |
