To all those fears I never conquered
To all the goodbyes that I never said
To all the people that teased me at school
To all the books I never read

To all the problems I never solved
To all the hours I used to waste
To all the points that never had a point
To all the food I'd feared to taste

This is for you, the failed and gone
I'll rewrite those lines and head straight on

You go! Kelby. I like the intention of this. It reads like a warrior-poet's creed. I like the choice for the couplet.
