I Am a Failure

I am always a failure.

No matter how many poems I decide to write, I am a failure.

No matter how many failures I don't have,

I am a failure.

If I have some success, I am still a failure.

If I am told that I am not a failure, I am still a failure.

I am always failing because I can not succeed. 

I can succeed and still I fail.

I can win the race and still fail to place.

I am a failure regardless of what place I get.

I am a failure in every race.

When I sleep at night, I sleep as a failure.

Even if magazines and television programs proclaim

me a success, I am a failure.

Even when I am lauded as a success, I am a failure.

I always fail.

When I achieve something, I have failed.

When I accomplish a goal, I fail.

Even when I don't do something, I am a failure.
