1 **Note: I am never thought I could really write poetry, this is my first
shot at it. I was feeling really down the other day because I tried out for
All-State Band and didn't make it. So, I was thinking about this in Algebra
while my teacher yapped about nothingness, and decided I would write down
my feelings. And lo and behold: it was a poem. So, I decided to post it for
the world to see. Please review it, criticism is good, but praise is even
better!!**

4 It isn't fair
It isn't right
'Cause I really tried
With all my might
I wanted it
I gave my all
But in the end
I lost the gall
To do it well,
Like I should
And be the best
I knew I could
So, it's all my fault
No one else is to blame
But still I hunt
To lose the shame
I've cried too long
Too hard for days
I'm all cried out
And fell into a haze
It doesn't seem real
It doesn't seem correct
That I should fall
While everyone else stands erect
But I must learn
To find my way
Through the mess
Through the fray
This shall make me strong
It will, I swear
And I shall know
Next time I dare
To be the best
I know I can be
And prove to others why I am me.
