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

[Joshua W. Harris]

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. =]

So true that you have to release yourself from your self to find what you need. Embrace the things you hate. Nice form.

Very insightful and the definition of courage.

Sometimes victory is the exact taste of sweat and tears. I love this poem.

[Nicky Sarti]

I love this.
I have no idea why, but I do.
I love the picture, which if you took is a-flipping-mazing!
I love the meaning too, and how it made me feel while reading it.

I really liked this. The message comes across beautifully.

I love this. Success is not the result of 'not failing' but of failing and trying again, and again, and again until Success is reached. I think you did a great job here. :)
