I'M Not a Failure

When I’ve tried and don’t succeed
That doesn’t make me a failure,
But if I give up and throw in the towel
I‘d be setting my self up for disaster 

Situations may not work out as plan, 
I'll Keep trying, and try again
I may fail at one thing or even another,
But i won't stay in that comfort zone forever.

Some set backs are temporary, and are part of life
If i fail at one thing i will try another
Failure at some things may need to teach me
lesson that will help me excel and grow.
