Hope for You and me

You’re only as beautiful as your mind will let you be.
You’re only as successful as your actions will lead you to be.
You’re only as rich as your heart’s capacity to beat
and you’re only as honest as your words will come to be.
You’re only as hopeful as much as you choose to be-
without hope there doesn’t seem to be
a place for love to beat-
a place for high hopes and dreams
or a place for you or me.
let hope flee
into the hands
of all
because every life
could use a second chance
to beat again
and love
with just a little
hope,
some help.

this is really good, but you should maybe reviseit to lessen the times to be comes up because the over all flow is a little off. but other than that the message is clear and bold :)
