Did I Fail

Did I fail at life was it all a test to see
Was I not good enough
For anyone to love me

Did I fail at life making so many mistakes
Is my cup empty 
Because it was filled by a bunch of fakes 

What had I done to deserve a life so sad
Had I done something wrong
To make god mad

Did I create this script or was I forced to read each line
Is this the character I was meant to play
Is this role truely mine

When will the final curtain be called so I can take my bow
Did my performance meet your expectations
What  is expected of me now?

Did I fail? Is that why I have nobody by my side?
Am I being punished
Did I fail? Despite how hard I had tried?

Did I fail? Is my test almost complete?
Will I ever catch a break
Or always end up with defeat

Did I fail? Did I even have a fair chance?
Was I set up for failure without any way to succeed
Why was I given a stage without music to dance

 
Did I fail? Will I never be good enough to be loved by you?
Why am I pushed aside 
Replaced by someone new

Did I fail? Did I do something wrong?
Is that why everyone lies to me
And strings me along

Did I fail? Doesn’t anyone see the pain I carry each day
Is that why I fade into the background
Do I deserve for it to be this way

Wether you failed or not is in how you perceive it... it is not easy to feel invisible, i hope you can find a way to accept the situation.. Deeply emotive poem..
