Array ( [sid] => 6360 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => rising only to fall [time] => 2002-11-07 23:00:00 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I'm just a girl trying to get by in this tricky world
Trying not to get hung up by my toes
For mistakes I have made

I am told that I have grown so much this year
I am told my eyes shine a little more
Why do I feel so dull inside?

Success and I are playing "catch me if you can"
Success seems to be faster than I
I was never good at running

I feel motivation and courage every once in a while
For moments at a time I feel strong
Never lasts long

I'm not saying I have given up on myself
I just am losing faith in what I can do
What little faith I have

Like an ocean wave I inevitably fall everytime I rise
I'd like to stay risen for once
Feel stable and free

rising only to fall

i really like this poem - the simplicity is really effective and the image of the wave is very emotive. great read. by the way, there's always hope - hang on in there.

" I'm not saying I have given up on myself

What little faith I have" . . .

This line, not to mention this poem is imence in it's emotional impact and
wisdom. I think i needed this today, now it is i thanking you. Your a very straight foward and powerful writter, awesome in every sence of the word, keeo it up one day you may escape from the drabness of your work day.
