POETRY CORNER: "BELIEVE"

To believe in yourself,

To believe in your dreams,

Is like believing in you.

Who's believing in me?

We say to ourselves, "Self-esteem, I have that."

But we hide our feelings under masks and hats.

To believe in myself, To believe in I,

I look at myself and wonder why.

Who do we turn to when there's no one around?

We're yelling and screaming, but don't hear a sound.

I believe in you.

I believe in me.

We believe in ourselves.

We believe in we.
