Why cant you belive?

Why cant you see, that all iv ever wanted,
was for you to believe in me?
Why is it so hard for you, to believe
that i can achieve something?

My entire life, all iv ever head from you was,
that ill fail, that ill ruin my life.
That ill flunk out of school,
that ill loose every job.

That I wont be a Chef,
that i wont make a penny,
that i wont be anybody.

That i wont be a wife,
cause nobody will have me.
That ill be nothing but,
a lover, and a mother.

That all my choices,
all my dreams,
all my goals,
are a waste of me.

That i am a failure,
that ill achieve nothing.

Well i dont believe you,
I wont let you destroy me,
i wont let you make me hate,
who i am today.

I will prove you wrong,
i will show you that im strong,
i will not give up,
till i am right.

I posted a poem like this.

I posted a poem like this. The only difference was I was speaking about Satan and his attempts to rid me of any happiness or joy in my life. I most especially love that you wrote in authentic detail, otherwords stating exactly what it was that he did not believe you could be. I barely know you but based on the temperament, brutal nobility and poise in these phrases its only possible that the same reflects on you as a person.
Its not that know one will have you, its that most don't deserve you. I was told before: you want something...take it, period.
