Trying to Fail

There's a thing that many shun against,
a feeling not felt, but rather sensed.
To think to try means one might fail,
keeps us in our self-made jail.
It's something you should do, every now and then,
more important than, a daily vitamin.
Go out and try that which you are not skilled,
to acquire the bricks you require - to build.
The process of life is based on one rule,
which ironically so, is not encouraged in school.
Where wrong is wrong, and never right,
do they know E did not equal MC-squared overnight?
Perhaps if they taught us what it means to learn,
we would have no reason to perpetually spurn.
If we never failed, the human race couldn't better,
but rather be reduced, to an alphabet letter.
Instead of giving us an A through F scale,
our schools should be teaching us, instead, how to fail.
