Walking lonely and beaten Down that horrible trail Knowing it is my destiny To endlessly fail I face every challenge With determination and with grace No matter how I try I fall flat on my face I pick myself up and proceed Ignoring all in my way Nothing can end my crusade Not even skies of gray No matter what slows me down I shall do what I do best I shall fail time after time Until I find my final rest |

You have not failed if you get up and keep going, every mile another success, every poem written from you shows your desire to succeed and your mastering devinely. |

I wouldn't just say I relate to this piece, I'd say I've lived this one. Well done my friend. Michael |

You are not a failure! You ever hear the saying that says...You don't fail unless you give up. It takes no strength or courage to give up...but it takes all that to get back up and keep going. I know you can do it, and God bless you whether you want him to or not |

Failure... So many times in my life I thought I was a failure , but then I stopped concerning about what the others thought of me an start liking me for myself and now I'm a sucess! Thin about that! EXCELLENT , OUTSTANDING POEM! "Only in the dreams , is that man can truly be free It was always thus and always thus will be" Prof. Keating Dead Poets Society |

This is a wonderful poem, but Mistik, you are in no way a failure!! "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde |
