I LIKE THIS POEM BECAUSE IT IS TELLING YOU TO ALWAYS BE POSITIVE NEVER LOOK DOWN AND IF SOMETHING WRONG IS HAPPENING YOU HAVE TO CONTROL IT YOURSELF. THIS POEM IS JUST FEELING WORTH NEVER LETTING YOU DOWN I FEEL AS IF THE POEM IS MEANING SOME THING TO YOU JUST IN A DIFFERENT WAY THANK YOU TO THIS POEM I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!!!!!!! I HAVE USED IT WHEN ONE OF MY FRIENDS HAD A BAD GRADE ON THEIR TEST AND THEY WERE FEELING DOWN SO WHEN I CAME HOME FROEM SCHOOL I WENT ONLINE TYPED IN CONFIDENCE POEM THE FIRST ONE AND JUST FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS POEM I PRINTED IT OUT READ IT OVER AND THE NEXT DAY AT SCHOOL I GAVE IT TO HER AND THAT CHEERED HER UP IT REALLY INSPIRES PEOPLE I HAD TO READ THROUGHT THE LINE MANY TIMES SO I CAOULD TELL WHAT IT WAS EXPLAINING TO ME IT REALLY HELPS ME THROUGHT MY STRUGGLES
