If I climbed the highest mountain,
Swam across the widest sea,
Possibly would you then,
Begin to believe in me?

If I found the cure to cancer,
Or created a great invention,
Finally would you have faith,
In all my good intentions?

If I stopped the hungry from starving,
And gave strength to all the weak,
Maybe then would you listen,
To all the words I speak?

If you simply made a difference,
In one life or two,
I promise I would be proud,
Because I already believe in you...

Just the frustration of being ignored and put down inspired me to write this poem... why can't people just have faith in others dreams, hopes, and intentions... come on have a lil faith

I know the feeling, it's like "Give me a littlbe bit of credit will yah!". The last stanza was just the perfect way to end it

 "If you simply made a difference,
In one life or two,
I promise I would be proud,
Because I already believe in you... "

Really beautiful (bonus points for the rhyming!)
