i must overcome

 

unknown,

i can feel it creeping up on me,

from below craving to swallow me,

from the abyss of terror,

it moves forth with the horror,

 

but determined i am to overcome it,

even as i feel my strenght to hang on declining,

but as long i breathe i hope,

to fight it,

to struggle against this odd forces,

to truimph,

to suceed,

and to stay ahead.

...and you have, sincerely.

To state it, at all,
even for own eyes only;
even with one faint voice alone;
"Overcome" has been done.

I want to celebrate that very thing, the alliance of Hope in between the lines of this poem; the dreams actualized in the contours of each painted word. You have captured, in yourself, a warrior - and overcome by the mere recognition. Because you found yourself Worthy.
And you painted it raw.

Fantastic!

You will over come. I am certain of it. Your words are powerful, deep and full of an amazing light.

This is great imagery for describing just living today. It shows the fear and horror, but also, the optimism to come out on top! Nice write! Barbara

In the racing game. Life is one race hard to win at, do you have the money to pay off St. Peter when you die so you can live it up like everone else. For the Rich and Dieing? Good peace, I like it. I don't push hard to get ontop, just slide by easily. No struggle necesory.
