I Can I Do I Will I Am

I can. I do. I will. I am.
I repeat this.
Just try! Someone yells.
Trying never works, I argue.
I can. I do. I will. I am.
Internalizing things always works.
Even if you fail….
Failing is not in my vocabulary I argue.
I can successfully do or I can successfully realize it is not for me.
Trying is a word I refuse to acknowledge.
Trying and I can’t.
Two things I never say.
I can. I do. I will. I am.
Confidence alive and well here.
