Unhappy In Heart And Mind Poem by Ray Hansell

The road ahead may get rough
The journey may be long
But I know you’ll make it
Because you are so strong

Some people may come to doubt
If you can do it on your own
Those who’ll have the most doubt
Will be people you have known

But you can’t let them sway you
Don’t let their words fill you with doubt
Because no one else knows
What you are all about

You have no doubt in your mind
That you can and will succeed
Because when it comes to others
Their help you’ll never need

There is only one who needs to believe
In you and that is you
Your back has been against the wall before
But you know just what you can do

So, don’t listen to the doubters
Because they never took a chance
Although I know deep inside
They envy you for your stance

They will never say it
But in their minds they know
Your strength and determination
Is something they could never show

It’s not to say they are weak
It’s just that they are the kind
Who are warm and cozy in their home
While they live unhappy in heart and mind
