Optimism of a Pollyanna
There is one thing around every corner I turn.. Over every brick in the road to success,
and painting a veil on every aspiration I have for the future...
One thing that holds opinions, and forms a web of power in the attempt to tell me I will
fail...
Trying it's best to crush my dreams, and stop the tracks I leave behind me..
Faith... Faith that others hold in me.. and faith they don't..
Aside from all contradictions I continue to have faith in myself..
I continue to try and cross every brick.. climb every wall.. and bust through every web
formed to try and discourage me..
I believe that no matter what happens today there will always be another chance to try,
and try again tomorrow..
and if not tomorrow.. There will be another day to try again...
I hold the power to my own future..
My feet are firmly planted, and my heart set clearly in front of me...
I am not held back by anyone's contradictions or underestimated faith in my abilities..
The only person who can do anything to me... the only person that can stop me, and ruin
any chance of my recovery...
Is myself..
and I will succeed.
