You try you fail,you try you fail, but the only true failure is when you stop trying.


I hear an empty breeze calling out to me,
The sound of plain defeat enveloping me inside,
The feeling is too painful,
But i take it in a stride,
Sometimes i feel like nothing works,
And my whole worlds coming down,
But then i hear an angelic voice,
A resonating sound,
That says dear child hold on!
And tonight when you go home,
Don't forget to remember,
That failures are stepping stones

smile through everything no matter how bad it gets because it could be worse and if it gets worse well then it can only get better. :)

This poem is constructed so well and i love how you admit that you are defeated, but will never give up. I think the rhyming in this poem is necessary and doesnt interupt the flow of this poem. In fact, your poem flows very well and your choice of when to start a new line is articulated very well. The first line of this poem just drew me in immediately and then the end circles back to your title. I love how well constructed this is. Good Job and keep up the good work! :D

This is really good, if a little cliche, and you had a few grammatical errors. But that's just not picky, the overall idea was good and it was very well written. Good job! :)
