i'm here to see another day
to save another life
to fix all that's broken
never say goodbye
i try and try
and never win
but i know that today is the day
that i will succeed
i will win
you will be proud
and everything will go on about
it's like nothing ever happened
that it was all make believe
it's all right in front of you
why can't you see
close your mind
open your heart
and then, then you will see

Very lovely!  I like the line "and everything will go on."  Add more flavorful words for a more vivid word picture in the reader's mind.  Other than that, great!

I loved every bit of it except from "but i know that today is the day" to "and everything will go on about". Probably because those lines seemed more uplifting. Lol, I just love the saddest poems. Just wondering, do you have to be over thirteen to get an account/submit work/get the magazine? If you do, I don't think you have to be thirteen to appreciate good literature. Who agrees?

This poem was very inspirational. I simply LOVED it. I think you should most definitely keep writing. It makes me want to read the rest of your work.
