Failed

Exit all pride, 
checked in at the door; 
Enter self doubt, 
Fear, pain, and more. 
What can you do 
When your all's not enough? 
When your filled with 
The wanting, not getting is tough. 
You ache for the giving, 
A longing to share. 
You crave the affection, 
But it's just not there. 
You know you're not wanted, 
Just a poor second best... 
It's the end of the class, 
And you've failed this Life's test.
