Impossible?

You've heard that it's impossible. 
You have tried, and it seemed so. 
You have a little fight left in you;
perhaps, it feels like you're out. 
You've given so much of yourself. 
You think they could be right—
it probably is impossible, probably....
But Mandela wrapped it up right:
It always seems so, until it's done.
So, you have to try, you must try—
effort makes all the difference.
You have to get up when you fall.
And when you have lost so much,
there is only so much more to lose,
and everything to gain from trying.
Cry if you must, dust yourself up.
Rise up, and do it. Do it. Do it.
