I Need a Little Support

I need someone to have some faith in me.  Sure, it may look like I'm

doing great by myself, but just a little more faith would take me a

lot further.

How can I be a poet, and a drummer, a speaker, always a radical,

a teacher and a millionaire, if no one believes in me?

How am I supposed to believe in myself?

Hey, wake up!

Tell me I can do it.

I need a little support in this world.

Otherwise, I'll never be what I can be:

Myself.
