I Couldn'T Write The Poem I Wanted To Write

I couldn't write the poem I wanted to write- I do not know why exactly Some days it works And some nights it works And some times it just does not work at all- I couldn't write the poem I wanted to write- There have been so many things in my life I have wanted to do And not been able to- As I grow older I fear there will be more and more simple things I will not be able to do. So much of what we are Is in these failures- I sometimes think how sad it is That I have failed in so many things- All my life I have known failures And it will not end until I do- I couldn't write the poem I wanted to write, And this is not it, either.
