What dreams are those Waving at me Upon the distant ridge? I don't know anymore And at the moment I am almost too tired To care. What is it About me That breeds failure Like mongrels In a purebred world? Why, when I reach For success, Do I succeed Only in falling On my face? But I'll pick myself up And try again, For not to do so Would mean I am dead, And I am very much alive!

"...like mongrels in a purebred world..." but the mongrels will survive that blue-blood lineage by far...be sure of it, mongrels don't get inbred!

Know how you feel, Rebecca ... this is too close to home. :( Well penned. The ending, though, gives us hope -

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :(
