Literature Text


I'd like to propose a cheer,
To those who ever put me down
Gave up on me,
Called me a failure.

You haven't seen the best of me yet.

You watch me, I see
As I walk, fear free
Ready
Ready to prove you wrong.

I feared failure
Because you told me it was going to happen
But now I rejoice,
Because someone
                   believes in me.

So I will walk into that exam hall,
And smile at you.
Because you judged me
But can't you see?

You haven't seen the best of me yet.
I was inspired by the song "This is Gospel" by Panic! At the Disco, and stole the line "You haven't seen the best of [me] yet"

I walked out of the exam today knowing I'd done myself proud.
I'm going to prove the critics wrong,
I'm not a failure.

I can read the flow and love the emotions in this one. The feeling of someone doubting your abilities, your strength and your will to get to the top. With an entity of doubt which presses you down. You say in the end you'll prove your better then what they think. Someone believes you- which brings hope into this poem. And with even that little help, it'll bring you to the top, one person can change your out look on life.
