A pep talk I know I can use and I'm sure I'm not alone. This poem reminds me of Ella Wheeler Wilcox's work-skirting the edge of sentimentality but never going over it. The world would be a better place if everyone follows this! Nice poem with a lot of good sense! "Success is failure turned inside out" is a brilliant line.
(You have to fight because you can and you want to) this is nice poem for all person or someone to realize that not quit and still fighting into end It's when things seem worst that you must not quit. I used it in speeches then and nearly forty years later it hangs on the wall of my office and I am still using it to encourage people NOT TO QUIT. This poem helped create in me a don?t quit attitude in my life while in high school. And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.

Published in the Detroit Free Press (March 4,1921). When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all up hill, When the funds are low and the debts are high. So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit. When he might have won had he stuck it out.ĭon't give up though the pace seems slow,Īnd he learned too late when the night slipped down,Īnd you never can tell how close you are. When the funds are low and the debts are high,Īnd you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,Īnd the road you're trudging seems all uphill, I want to be in the broken failure ward, heaven's Angel hospital, near to you where I can heel and put smiles on everyone's faces.Ask for this YDP anthology at your favorite bookstore or order it online today! Please give me a chance to take care of those that failed on earth, that no one else want in life. I don't know myself, I am a miserable failure on earth. I know you probably have more qualified that me but please take in consideration that I know what it feels like to be lost, confused, hurt and lonely. I am sorry Lord, I am sorry what a total disappointment I must be for you, Can I be your angel, the one that brings flowers, that wipe away the tears of those that hurt, I want to be a angel that stand next to those that give up on life, gently take them in my arms and make them feel that they are not alone. Please release me from these earthly bonds that keep me here. I what to stop pretend that I want to live. I want to dance in the rain like one without a sordid past. I want to fly, feel free to spread my arms and embrace the wind.
I would release my family of a burden they do not want. If I could go to your world I would without blinking. I don't know why I was placed on this earth I only know that I don't fit.
The truth is I feel different from other people, I feel more emotionally. I place where I can be understood, and with no anger,resetment or hate. I asked God to take me away to a place where I can be myself without condemnation. i wrote the following poem as a result of that. For some time now I am struggeling with the feeling that i am alone.
