I Can






Today is the day


I speak up and say



I CAN


walk through the halls



I CAN



be myself



I CAN


let them know



who I am

and who I should be


this is the day

I speak up and say


I CAN


let it go



I CAN


laugh it off



I CAN

control my attitude

with other people

this is the day

I speak up and say



I CAN


learn who I am



I CAN


walk away




I CAN


be who I want to be

The author's comments:
I wrote this poem to tell people that they can do what they are meant to do and what they want to do. I believe anything can be done if you put your mind to it, and just believe that you can do it. I think that people should have more self-confidence in themselves. People need to believe they are strong and can be who they want to be.
