Failure

Today began beautifully
Then it simply turned to misery
My results were disappointing
And although I wasn't failing
I felt like a failure

Lost and confused
I felt my incompetence overshadow me
All pride and confidence
Swept clean and not regained

Now I stand before life
Saddened by my achievements
Although they're really not worth much
As I stay in this pathetic mood

I've forgotten to do
What I take for granted
My potential undermined
And left unused - waiting

The time will come
When I overcome my weaknesses
Hopefully that time is soon
Because I don't want to be a failure
For I was not built to be one
