I live in an endless contradiction in feelings and moods
Within myself at once there are many up and down worlds
I try to be true to a certain courage in going on
But discouragement is often the predominant tone
I often want to give up
While knowing I must do the best to go on
I know I am not the best self I should be
Not in faith in love in anything
But I am not bad or evil intentioned or cruel or heartless
I care and I try to help others
This is my first impulse
I am however too afraid
To ever really risk in the right way
To create a better world.

it's nice to read your contradiction in feelings in your everyday living, poet.Discouragement keeps on coming while doing good. This is because, you do not get reward from someone's saying.WELL DONE MY BOY.
