Waste Not Fresh Tears

It is self-doubt that ultimately gives way
To the hope that yet remains in my heart,
And I can honestly say to this very day
It is this hope that sets me apart.

But there yet remains a feeling of torment
That at times gives me not a moments rest,
For I am haunted by specters of my troubled past,
Take leave of me demons who jest!

Is it frantic reasoning that turns me around
Giving hope a chance to grow?
Or is it the foolish ranting of a troubled mind
That has no idea about which way to go?

Have I not striven to better myself,  
Or has it all been terribly in vain?
It matters not though because I have decided:
I will not allow my resolve to wane!
