You failed;
I know.
I can see it here
in this starlit sky.
Oh you failed and
you didn't get back up
you just
stayed down.
Why?
Why would you refuse to fight.
Why would you refuse
to get back up?
You see
you failed
because you didn't
get back up.
I can see
that you know this
I can see it in your eyes
you know what you failed to do.
You failed and fell; but you didn't get back up.

I can relate to that, because after all you only fail when you don't make an effort to improve. Very sad piece but it's ultimately true, rings true for the way I used to be as well.

yeah it's quite sad and something I think everyone is guilty of at least once.
Thanks!
