"Live so that when you come to die, even the undertaker is sorry" -Mark Twain

You think it’s done, it’s all gone.
That the sun has left,
But the day’s just dawned.
Feeling helpless,
like you’ll never succeed.
But I know better
And I believe.

You think it's over, you’re finished off.
You tossed and turned,
This one you lost.
But I know better,
And I can see.
That you aren’t broken,
And I believe.

You fought your battles,
But still you fall,
The more you do,
You lost it all.
But you know better,
You just can’t see,
The good potential,
And I believe

The lullabies,
Can’t help you now.
You want to cry,
You want out.
You need a hand,
To pull you up,
You’re drowning now,
You’re always stuck.

But I know better,
And I believe,
In all the beauty,
In you I see.
You may not see the good,
But it’s still there.
Think of my lullabies,
‘Cause you’re still here.

I'm hoping some one will read this and realize they aren't small or helpless. They should know that there's a person in the world who does believe that they can do anything.

This was very very good, you really got your message out there. I was a little put off by the structure of the poem. You started the poem with every stanza ending with "And I believe", but the last two didn't which got me a little distracted. I also thik it should have ended with "And I believe" or "I believe (in you)". This was a very good poem, great job! I very much enjoyed reading it :)
