If I Gave Up

I look in the mirror each morning and see a pretty face but what's the use in looking good when your life has been a waste. A waste of time and effort that I put forth each day just to see it all crumble and slowly fade away. All my dreams are in their graves each one each one in a different tomb. But they all say here lays the hopes and dreams of someone that gave up too soon. I am doomed to fail in whatever I try to do. What's the use in going to school? Yes, this is what I would be saying if I gave up my hopes and dreams but I refuse to give up hope because I will succeed!

Wow I feel like I could have written this poem. haha Not that it's a laughing matter, just that it's so much like me and I feel this way everyday. But like you I will not give up, even though I sometimes want to. If you don't mind, I think you meant to say "each one in a different tomb" and "doomed to fail"
