This poem beautifully captures the essence of trying and the importance of belief in oneself. The use of "can" as a powerful word that can both limit and unleash one's capability is thought-provoking. The repetition of "can" at the end emphasizes the message and leaves a strong impact on the reader. Overall, a wonderful piece of poetry by Madison Newton. Thank you for sharing!
That's very affirming! It would be great on a poster wouldn't it?!
