The Little Girl Who Believed

I can do this!

I can do this!

All I have to do is try!

You could look into this little girls’ eyes

And tell she wanted a prize

Can you see this?

I can do this!

All I have to do is try!

She was really passionate about her work

And no one could deny

Give me the chance!

And I will prove that I can!

Just give me one chance please!

Yet every time she begged for it

She would never get the chance

Please Please Please!

Let me try!

Just Give me one chance!

She always seemed to be adamant about her views

She only wanted a chance

Give me a chance

That is all I wanted

I wanted someone to see

That if given the opportunity

I could be all that I could be

Everything I have ever earned

I had to work two times five times

Because even the ones who believed in me

Always had to deny

Deny my willpower

Deny my energy

They said I was wasting my time

They questioned why I was trying to be

Someone who I was not

But the funny thing is

If I was given the chance

I could work towards a better me

And then I could prove to them

I could be who I wanted to be

I could have developed as a person early on

And not put down on the spot

I would have been better at speaking

I would have had experience doing what I love

I would have experienced a lot

Instead they didn’t believe in me

And I moving on

I can’t fault them for what they have done

Because now I am strong

I have grown up to realize

That I could be anyone I want to be

And if I am never given the opportunity

I can open the door myself for me

I will find my true calling

I will rise over the word NO

Because I know that I can prosper

And I can do things on my own

That little girl who believed

Still resides in me

But now instead of believing

She can now fully see

She opened up her eyes

She helps all in need

Because she believes that one day

There will be people who help those who too believe
