What do you think this poem is about?

(There's a fire burning in my eyes)

Even the impossible can be done
because i believe it can
the toughest challenge can be won
because i am a fighting man
...there's a fire burning in my eyes,
because i'm after the prize.

Anything far-fetched can be achieved
yes, it can be done
because in truth i believe
that i am the right one
but thats no surprize,
cause' there's a fire burning in my eyes.

Anything unlikely can be overcome
in an hour of darkness
even though there exists some
who think the situation is hopeless
but my spirit never dies,
because there's a fire burning in my eyes.

My heart is ablaze
with the flame of triumph
my soul alight
with this fire of success
an eternal inferno
rages wthin me
and when you peer into my eyes
then you will see
the fire burninig within.

...The fire burning within my eyes.

    Determination is a valuable asset.
    So is the ability to use your words for the benefit of others.

    It's a poem expressing one's commitment to a goal, and could encourage the reader who finds dificulties in achieving his/her task. This poem could be made into a song.

    Yes, Allen, you're the kind of poet we must listen to. I appreciate the rhythm & rhyme here; and the caesura or mantra you employ. I'll give you a 10 out of respect and your achievement; will read others when I can...

    It flew with a positive statement and it was sustained by your implacid belief, its the type of thing I can see an obsessive compulsive athlete reading and believing to get them to the finish line of a race. Trully a great message

    perhaps more about the triumph, why do you feel so empowered, when do you doubt your self, theres a fire burning in my eyes, and now my ambition wears no disgiuse, for i can look to the skies, and see only what is still to be achieved, you have given me what i need
