I've run the gamut through a range of emotions stumbling over hurdles, jumping through hoops, one after another. Down the home stretch lies an elusive line, tempting me to cross. Yes, I am frustrated after giving it my all. Praying for the strength to endure challenged by a battle of wills that threatens to beat me. Hard pressed, refusing to give up that which I can't bare to lose. Turning cartwheels spitting words I am the best and the worst a poor excuse for a cheerleader; somersaulting. I've circled around and down spiraling through a tunnel flooded by my own sweat and the taste of salty tears. I am my own whistle blower calling fouls, penalizing myself. A glutton for punishment, it's a tough call if we reap what we sow who's to say? On occasion I've lost sight of my visions and the reasons for being, as though I am rolling around on a rim, tapped into the very heart of me. Questioning my commitment surrounded by the after effects pushing myself harder preserving my perseverance. If only I could swish like a sinker. Knocked down trained and untamed worked over and left out, but never losing sight of the prize or the blue shades of ribbon that I won and almost lost~ (oops~ there's my edit signature again) [This message has been edited by BluesSerenade (03-14-2002 11:13 PM).] |

Yeah, you go girl!!! Keep fighting, and keep your eye on that prize. With determination like this, it should be pretty close at hand I’d say. Cool rant on the battle of life. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Visions can sometimes become blurred by life's trial and tribulations, but as long as we never lose sight of the prize, the reward is ours for the taking...if we persevere! Very nice pep talk to self, wonderfully done! |

Blue - I know the internal battle you speak of, and you described it perfectly in this write. Especially the stanza about calling fouls on yourself. I can totally relate to that. I think if we got together we would make the worst cheerleading squad ever. Our football team would quit before the end of the 1st quarter.lol Also, I don't think I would look to good in a cheerleading outfit.lol Dave |
