My Dream Of Victory

How am I to contain this heartache.....
How do I find the strength within... 
How do I with smiles continue...
How is it.... I'm here again. 

It seems I find no better answer.... 
It seems I know no other way.... 
It seems sometimes though found broken... 
I am renewed with every day.. 

When eastern sun comes asking ...
If I'm willing to rise once more... 
Though my heart may pause in question ... 
My hand is reaching for the door.  

Whether Right or wrong or good or bad.. 
These simple games played in my head...  
I forget the loss of my yesterday...
And dream of victory today instead
