Melancholy Musings

To strive yet not succeed. To fight, but be defeated. To dream, but nightmares come. To seek, yet not find. To heal then hurt again. To speak and not be heard. To sing without a song. To reach out, to no one there. To look, and not see. To run, with no place to go. To believe, but be betrayed. To love, it turns to hate. To live a life, you know will end.

Your title says it all, Sandy. We all have those moments of doubt yet we continue to look for the sunrise of a new day. We know each new day brings hope. Good to get those feelings out but things I wouldn't dwell on. The upside is we had the opportunity to strive, fight, dream, etc... Keep on dancin'Sandy. It makes you feel good:)

I like the title. These are deep feelings smoothly written. Things we all experience in life to identify with. Well written Sandy. I hope you have a beautiful day :)
