Battling hope versus doubt
Facing ups then downs
Loneliness taps the shoulder of freedom
Passion locks itself on my heart
Drumming my fingers on the table
My heart hammers in my chest
Fighting with myself
Pressure to reach success
Self belief versus expecting failure
Pushing on up the hill
It’s a long climb to reach the stars
Feels like too obstacles in my way
Battling hope versus doubt
The world versus just me
Smiling, hoping tears won’t blind me
Waiting for the rainbow after the rain
Victoria

/ April 20, 2012Ah, Vicky. Another day when our minds seem to be linked across the ocean. Have you gotten my package yet? Or has the US Postal Service failed me yet again?

/ April 20, 2012I have never thought about how those two words are opposites. I could feel the push vs. pull all the way through and will work hard to thwart all of the doubts in my life!
Very nice!

/ April 20, 2012Beautiful!!! Doubt is such a tough thing. It’s a downer, yet sometimes it pushes me to strive for more out of life/a situation. Write on, my friend.

In the end, I still have faith hope will prevail and we’ll catch that rainbow

/ April 23, 2012Those are tough days. When it seems like the goal is impossible. But you can do it. Don’t look at the top of the hill, concentrate on each step your taking and you’ll eventually get there.
