Failure is Not An Option

Feeling like a failure 

is not the best.

You always want 

to be better than the rest.

If something discourages you,

you feel at your lowest of lows.

You almost drown in your own sorrows.

It's so hard to be proud

of what you know is just enough.

Yet enough to get by,

is never enough.

So my advice to all,

and to myself,

is to try, and try. 

And just keep asking for help.

But most important of all,

is to believe in yourself.

Because doing only the bare minimum,

barely getting by,

won't help anyone fly.
