Me
Me
I have failed at everything.
Everything I try to do.
I have failed in school.
I was never well behaved.
I have failed at work.
I was never a very good slave.
I have failed at family.
Where are they now?
I have failed at life.
I’m barely making it somehow.
I’m not a famous person.
I’m not a wealthy man.
I’m not a holy guru;
Nor wanted by any friend.
I’m just good at being me;
and maybe that’s all I’m supposed to be.

Chris,
A splendid poem which many, including myself, will be able to relate to. The last two lines are a statement which I particularly felt drawn to. I discovered the same later in life; who I truly was.
Thank you for this,
Keith
