This free verse, Failed, finds the turning point at the end of this poem as the realization that there is a solvable problem and it starts with us.

Ciao mystery poet, you have two votes now!

Reading your poem , I could not help but think that not all of us are made to sit in front of a desk ..

Your talent was simply somewhere else : in sports, in art, in music etc

What's important is that we find our talent .

A poem of honesty admitting all the failures. Please don't give up. Life is full of surprises. It is never too late to start it over again.

Happy writing and good luck to your contest.

Thanks for sharing.

This is a terrible situation to be in honestly, but I've been there done that. I went through the same thing in college, but if you make up your mind to pay attention, you can get through it. No one is a failure, they just lack motivation. Best of luck in the contest. :)

This is a sad write as often failure teaches us to be successful. Churchill sad: Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." "Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm."

We are all good at something, we just need to fine our niche, a fine poem for the contest, love Dolly x

This is judging yourself as a success or a failure by the standards of others and according to the values of others. Are you a person of integrity? Caring? Compassionate? Truthful? if so, you are a success as a person. Well written. Good wishes.

I never took SATs because I was in the Army, I probably wouldn'tt have passed them either. Very nice job. Good luck in the contest. Stay safe and stay healthy.

Let me tell you that a new life starts when we make a good diagnostics. And I guess that your poem describes an inflection point (where curvature changes). So, it is OK to describe a situation as you did in you poem, but let me tell you that brain can be "shortcutted" to another realities, as it cannot difference between something real or something imagined. So, if imagination is taken into the positive side, reality changes magically. Great poem, but person can move to better horizons... For sure!

This person seems like a total wash-out. I'm surprised any college accepted him if he didn't pass his SATs.
