I fail and
Fail again

I try but don’t
Want to

It don’t make
Any sense

Why do I have
A goal

You tell me don’t
Even try

You tell me I
Can’t do it

I start to
Believe you

You tell me to
give up

But I always
Try anyways

The author's comments:
I wrote this poem on September 17, 2010. I was thinking of a time when I was taking a test at school on the computer. I had a goal set in my mind but when the teacher checked on me she said I was setting myself up for failure. I lost my mind when she said that. I thought I almost had it but when she said that I could not think. I didn’t even pass my goal. I hope you enjoy this poem. Please comment.
