Cool... I like the bit about the father, it really strikes home just how much of a failure the speaker perceives the world to think he is.

I also liked the idea of unabashed, unashamed pride in being a failure. I've never really thought that was possible, but then, I've never really thought much about it. :-)

I really really like this.

Heartfelt, very nice job.

that was depressing, but a good poem. i just hope it isn't what you really think of yourself

Like the free-verse. I can relate to the poem, as often I feel v. v. bad about myself.
Not criticising (sp) but if you ever edit the poem ya wrote "sight" as "site".

Like
"I'm not tall enough
Strong enough
I Cry too much"

everyone has problems with themselves.

Well, if nothing else, you can put words together in a coherent fashion. Artistic, even.

To critique, to not critique, that is the question. There are things I would want to switch around, fix, touch up... But that would change the...not the perfection, it isn't perfect, the /im/perfection. It would change the truthfulness of it.

[quote]If you asked if i was a failure
Id stand tall and say yes sir[/quote]

But even so, even failures can have talents. And it seems to me that those who say they /aren't/ failures are the worst ones of all, because in believing such, they have failed at humanity.

Good for you.

Aw...sad. Might want to distinguish lines a bit better, but I like the emotive side. Very touching...
