I Just Cant Win

I try and try
to no avail
I just cant seem to win.
They tell me ill never make it,
real optimistic of them.
With things about
my growing daily life
and nothing for it to show.
I just cant win
Why is that? i ask myself,
why can you not be better?!
I cant quite reach
 the highest step,
I cant climb the
highest rope.
If i tried to bake a cake
I am positive it'll explode.
Im not sure who i am yet
but i know i'll get 
through life grinning. 
I will suceed oneday
but for nowL
Im just not winning

As lOng as we hold our heads high, life is all about how we see ourselves. Somedays its as if we can't do a thing right, but most days we just have to prove ourself wrong ;) Thanks you!
