I Believe

I believe in this world,
In the skies and stars and the sun that will forever shine.

I believe in the power of love,
In the joy and laughter of lovers and children alike.

I believe in Fate and destiny,
In the hope that somewhere out there, someone has written a nice chapter for me.

I believe in the triumph of truth,
In the endless search by others for a complete picture that may be unveiled someday.

I believe in you and me,
In the ceaseless struggle for deconstruction and a creation of forever.

I used to believe in me,
In the gift and power that I have been given, that I should use, but which I fear to have lost.   

I believe,
I believed everything.

  • I felt that this could have used more metaphor and the flow could have been better. I did like the simplicity of this piece and how it was hopeful to bitter in such a short amount of time. Good job on this and thanks for entering the contest... Good luck.

    I very much enjoyed this piece. I liked the simple language and the repetition of "i believe" and then changing it to "i used to believe" and then finally the way you ended the poem was awesome :]
