Giving up was not in their gene

"I'll do my best", was never my statement

"I'll have success", was my replacement

I fell, crumbled, then realized

"I'm not enough", left with an amazement

------------------------------------------------------

My inner said,"Try again, this time you'll have it"

I stumbled with broken ribs and didn't feel fit

I lost my drive and then realised

It's me the loser! I forgot again— O! Shit

------------------------------------------------------

I bragged and showed that it was just trail

I walked again in 'Millionaires' aisle

Bankrupt, still flop and then realised

Am I registered in the failure's file?

------------------------------------------------------

At present I asked, "By failure, what do you mean?"

Life of every successful, I have already seen

They fail, fail,fail and then realise

Giving up was not in their gene!

Author's notes :

I have related my poem to every single person who deals with their failures and inconsistency. To all those, It's ok not to do well every time. You just have to do it anyway!

P.S: (Drafted it mistakenly, posting it again)
