Failure

I failed to be good enough
I failed to be okay,
I failed to be good at heart,
I'll never be okay.

I failed to be strong enough,
I failed to be brave,
I failed to be perfect,
Now were held so far away.

I'm sorry I'm not smart enough,
Sorry im pathetic,
Sorry though I try and try,
I never quite will get it.

never give up, no matter how many times you failed, you became a failure when you stop trying, so march on for there is a new day, a new tomorrow. a great piece of work you penned here.
