The War Within Myself Poem by Jen Van Houten

Low confidence
Built up confidence
No, I can't...
Yes, I can

Up and down with depression
Trying to fight regrets
Wish I had goals at a young age
Wish I had someone to boost me up
Working towards my goals now

Am I too old?
Am I too late?
Will I become a success in the near future?
Or, will it be in ten years?
I want it now

I hope I make you proud
I hope I make myself proud
I hope I can be an inspiration
I hope I can bring empowerment
I hope that I can still hope

I can't give up
Don't want to give up
Sometimes I feel like I should
Stop thinking
No more regrets
