I Can

I am able without a doubt
To take whatever comes my way
Because I believe that I hear a shout
Which says “I Can” every day

When all hope is shattered, it seems
And I am in the stress of strife
I will still lift my chin and chase my dreams
In this battle, I call “My Life”

I will not wait until tomorrow comes
To do what must be done
Because there is no “Can’t”
Where I come from
I am as faithful as our sun

I do not believe that the world is to blame
For my grief or cares
And I do not think a single soul
Should feel ashamed
If my load is more than theirs

I bravely walk along a path I call my own
Not a step, do I take in fear
“I Can” is the name of my song
And I will sing it
Even
Through my tears

I really like this because it screams in a language i understand whenever I was down I always reach a point where my mind says save yourself you are worthy and I do.I have had times when others would degrade me if i let them that like you i stood my head unbowed and walked the hall alone yet proud

Never give up. Simply telling yourself the words "I can" will always keep you going.
This poem was well said and inspirational.

Neva,

I am very impressed with this poem. I didn't know what to expect from what you said earlier, but this is excellent work. Thanks for sharing.
