The Fact That I Tried #Prose4T
The Fact That I Tried
Looking forward
But is that right?
I have two options
To fight or flight
If I flee
From what is to come
I’ll never know
If I lost or I won
Fight is the way
There’s no other choice
I want that reason
To be happy, rejoice
Look in the mirror
And know that I tried
No matter how many times
I’ve fallen and cried
The journey make be long
The road twists and turns
The failures are hard
Sometimes it burns
But I know that one day
I can look myself in the eyes
And be satisfied with
The fact that I tried

At the end of the day, you need to know you did everything you could: and you are doing everything you can. I really hope that you get your wish in the end, sending lots of love your way. Thank you so much for sharing with #ThePrompt x
Absolutely.. Thank you Sara – and thanks for hosting x
Lovely poem Vicky. I have a cup at home that reads ‘the only real failure is the failure to try’ and I think as long as we do that we van hold up our heads with pride.
Thank you Karen, a great saying x
Oh this shows strength of determination. Never give up as you never know when things can happen and things can change for the better.
Thank you so much Emma x
Such self-determination and focus in this poem Vicky. And i do think that half the battle is to be able to say that we tried… to look ourself in the eye. Thanks for hosting #prose4t
