Allusion Poem [ROUGH DRAFT]

Here I am, gazing into the world
Oh, what obstacles I see.
Everything's practically bigger than me.
Oh no, I seem so small,
How can I do anything at all?

But wait.
Wait and see.
See what's missing in this world in front of me.
Maybe a little kindness
Maybe a little heart
Maybe a little strength, determination;
Maybe a little something like me.

Perhaps I belong here; Perhaps I can help
I think I can.

So I push a little harder,
Oh, I'm almost to the top,
but then came the pop.
Oh, a screw came loose, and I'm way off track,
And everyone starts to question, How will you ever get back?

But wait.
Wait and see.
See what's needed in this journey to the top.
Just a little courage,
And a little heart,
And a little perseverance,
And belief that I'll make it to the top.

"It's just a little screw." I said; I'll make it to the top.
I know I can.

(The Little Engine that Could)
