I just whipped this up right now in a matter of seconds. It actually started out with the last two lines really, and they were more about me. I'd rather not say what subject my mind was on when I came up with these. I thought they sounded interesting so I wrote them down.
This poem is (semi) dedicated to one of my friends, Ariel. Hence the name. When we were younger I was always the mother figure for my friends, and I still kinda am. But they've grown up and have gained the capabilities to take care of themselves and to be honest at times this makes me a little sad.
I wrote this poem to be a little sadder then the real thing, so in case anyones worried. No. Nothing horrible happened to Ariel

I don't usually write poetry. In fact this is the first time I've written it outside of something for school. I just don't find myself very good at it, I'm better at novels or short stories but I hope you like it anyway.

Yeah, I'm not very good at poetry either. All of the ones I've written have been either dark or just plain goofy. I remember writing one lamenting about the foul scents of other students at my high school...too much cologne! >_>
But your poem is well written. I like how well the line "But I failed" stands out...it's a strong transition from the happier parts of the poem to the more serious parts. The picture you found goes well with this too.
