Description "Failure" is written in my skin
Scrawled there in invisible ink
It sinks into my blood stream
And pumps through my body

"Failure" is ringing in my ears
Quiet enough so I can barely hear it
Yet loud enough to hear it constantly
No matter what I do

"Failure" is flashing before my eyes
Showing me everything I have tried
But have not been able to obtain
Because of everything I lacked

"Failure" has become a part of who I am
The word fills me on the inside
And surrounds me on the outside
Squeezing me tight so I can't breathe

"Failure" is what I will always be
For failure is all I know

To understand.
To agree.
To cry.
To know.

No one is really a failure. I know the people who love you would tell you that this poem is nothing like you. I know how you feel, but things are never as bad as they seem. I really hope you feel better.

I feel the same way sometimes... it's horrible. I'm terrified to fail, and this poem seems to embody that fear perfectly. Great job, and never stop trying!

This is really good, clean and very deep.
I get the feeling, I can relate to this...
But remember no matter what you are not a failure,
life puts obstacles in our way just to get rid of the weak and show us who are the strong ones.
Show life you're strong.
