The poem Do now

If you think you are beaten, you are,

If you think you dare not, you don't.

If you like to win, but you think you can't,

It is almost certain you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost,

For out in the world we find,

Success begins with a fellow's will.

It's all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are,

You've got to think high to rise,

You've got to be sure of yourself before

You can ever win a prize.

Life's battles don't always go

      To the stronger or faster man.

But soon or late the man who wins,

     Is the man who thinks he can.

 

I think that the poem is kind of confusing. And i don't really get the point of it. But the only part that i get a little it is supposed to help us to get our spirits up for the TAKS. Also i think it is inspiring for someone who likes to write poems.
