SteemitPoetryContest #10: Growing pains

So I suppose this is my first English poem on here...
Maybe a few people can now actually read it ;)

Growing pains

I forgot how it feels like -to fall,
a thousand times flat on my face.
Like running through walls...
At anything: I was not born an ace.

But these days I’m extremely afraid
not scared of the dark, mind you
Frightened of all the times I hate
myself for failing- a sting I never knew

When we learn at my age,
how often do we still try?
How fast will we give up in this cage...
Tell our dreams and goals goodbye!?
