Just Have To Believe

Why is it I try so hard,
but seem to go nowhere.
My efforts are never triumphant,
like mixing oil and water.

No matter how hard I try,
success in life eludes me.
Maybe I should just stop trying,
but that would be wasting my time.

Because I can do it,
because no one can stop me.
I won't waste my time,
and I will get where I want to go.

Because I am better then those who criticize,
better than those who don't believe.
Because I will try hard,
because I know I'm amazing.
