I Wonder If Anyone Can Ever Succeed

Sometimes I Believe That God Wants To Try Me, Both Now And Later On; I Must Become Good Through My Own Efforts, Without Examples And Without Good Advice.

I Have Always Been The Dunce, The Never-do-well Of The Family, I've Always Have To Pay Double For My Deeds, First With The Scolding And Then Again Because Of The Way My Feelings Are Hurt.

I Am What A Romantic Movie Is To A Profound Thinker - A Mere Diversion, A Comic Interlude, Something That Is Soon Forgotten.

But Feelings Can't Be Ignored, No Matter How Unjust Or Ungrateful They Seem.

I Know What I Want, I Have A Goal, An Opinion, I Have A Religion And Love. Let Me Be Myself And Then I Am Satisfied. I Know That I’m A Woman, A Woman With Inward Strength And Plenty Of Courage.
