I Fail

I fail at all I begin 

I fail to be first

I fail to win 

I fail to be worse

I fail at life

I fail just a bit 

I fail to give up 

I fail to quit

I think winners are overrated. So long as we get back up and keep playing/fighting - that's all that matters. Winners are actually at a disadvantage if you think about it because once they fail, it really messes with their minds because they're not used to losing and getting back up. Well-done, I enjoyed reading this write.

I fail to give up is said by all the greats. Herry Aaron 47 homers in 1971 for his 154 strikeouts.
You have an excellent message here.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Personally, I am of the latter two, or three. Cool simplicity .

I love this. It's short, yet packed with feelings. This poem speaks volumes about how it feels to be so close to kicking something away but still, on some level or the other, sticking with it. A beautiful piece written masterfully in a simple setting. Thank you for sharing it.

I think you've touched on traits that are scattered in all of us. Therefore, I can relate to this, simple as it is.

[Tate Morgan]

You know I liked this. It follows one of my own tenants simple is always best.

excellent poem from the start to the finish

[Richard McLin]

Wow, not how I expected it go. This is a great piece cause it starts off bleak, but in a short amount of time, you pick it up, and get it to show the persons real feelings. They are not going to give up cause things get hard. Great piece.
