Daunting

Perhaps I’ve been quixotic. To dare to dream is merely effort. To follow, to walk, to try, to work is the action. At what point does one decide to accept the truth everyone else sees but you? 

Delusional has been used to define me. I must admit I don’t disagree. What could possibly be rewarded to a girl like me? I’ve done a lot, but not enough. Should I part my lips, unglue my tongue, and accept defeat? 

I’ve never been known to give up, especially easily. ​
