I'm scared of trying my best,
Because of my constant fear of failure,
They tell me to try harder,
Push more.
But what if I gave it my all?

It hurts so much more,
When I have people cheering me on,
Believing in me.
When failure finally comes.

The cheers are empty,
The faith is a distant memory,
They tell me I'll do better next time,
Giving me their empty adjectives.
Like it makes me feel better.
Feel like a lot of people can relate to the feeling when you've given it your all but you're still met with failure. I'm sure everyone is capable of success but pushing yourself to keep trying is a constant struggle.
