Suddenly, I descend into my dwelling
Place
Because as for the world, surely I'm not
Ready to face.
My spirit and my soul often disagree;
Therefore, I know there's something
Better for me,
Even if it's not in vision at this time.
I'll prepare for it and pray
That relief will come in due time.

Sometimes we may lose sight of what's really important in our lives and worry about struggles we must all face. But we must never lose hope, for there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Gain Self-Esteem Poetically is a refreshing collection of Madam Sorrows inspirational words, which keeps us in tune with our inner strengths and weaknesses. Only by realizing we can rise above the battles we fight can we each love ourselves and be fulfilled.
