Must Believe

Never will I ever
Let my dreams and my hopes stop
Always keep my head up
Even when my guards drop

Making my way through
Everything I lack
Just a southern boy
From the southside of the track

Been to hell and back
But I extinguished the fire
Rose above it all
Standing on ground much higher

Deflected all the drama
And fought off all the hate
Got the strength from my momma
Walking with a clean slate

I'm not the average person
Who grabs what life brings
I'd rather make my way
And live large like the kings

I know where I've been
Don't wish it on a single soul
Think about the past
I was out of control

You must see the error
And the consequences
Of every action taken
Trust you heart and your senses

A very good and inspirational poem, yeah it s true that if we want to achieve something first of all we should belive ourselves, we should have confidence that we can do it, like I m in O levels(class 9) it s an international course, so I always tell my father that I ll achieve 8 A*( the maximum you can get) he alwayssadit aht you can t, but still I ve confidence in me that I will and I want to see the proudness of my parents face when I ll achieve it, but still above all we need God s help
