Victory Visions

downtroden,bloody faced and demotivated,
thinking of my heroic actions that are unappreciated,
i convince myself that there is no need to go the extra mile,
that hardwork is not worth the while.
but beneath that premature conviction there is an unquenchable fire,
a fire that makes me believe i can do whatever i desire,
in the midst of tempestous bellows of doubt,
that tiny glimer of hope finally drives the darkness out,
and leaves a warm light of unbelievable might,
in the midst of this 'road to ruin' i can finally take flight,
to reach unimaginable heights.

Very inspirational and encouraging. I thought it had a very finished ending, "to reach unimaginable heights." You're good at getting the words to flow together really well. Great poem!
