Sweet taste of victory

I dream a dream of a better life

I will make it come true

I do not have to believe in myself

I just simply have to prove

all my fears and doubts untrue

 

the sweet taste of victory

 I long for

 

the sweet taste

 will purge my mouth

from the taste of sweat and tears

I will have on my tongue for years

 

a journey on this path to dreams

is not an easy road

it is        my passion

it is       my dream

and it’s worth every burden load

This is a beautiful piece, and I found I could connect to it much more potently because of how eerily similar it is to the mind and situation of a main character I am currently writing.
A beautifully described struggle, and the wonderful feeling of a struggles worth. =]

I like that you discuss such a universal topic. I would've liked to see more of the burden and how it would mean the great victory you describe.

You always choose great pictures! Although, I'd be afraid to step out to the end of that rickety old pier, no matter how pretty it looks at this point in time. It's a good poem. The message of the poem is to affirm the effort needed to achieve ones dreams. It encourages me to reflect: Sometimes we just try too hard. Once in a while we win the race by not even trying to compete. The victory is found in surrender.
