C'est la vie

Questions

Tears free falling from the sky
Covering me, blinding me
Losing focus on what is to be seen
I look up to You
I ask You questions
And receive wrong answers
What am I doing so wrong
I try and live up to Your potential
But am a constant disappointment

My head falls in shame
I can't look at your eyes
In fear they aren't looking at me
I can't reach for your hand
In fear that it won't be there to hold
I step back from you
And realize I'm on my own
Still silently wishing for you
But not knowing where you are

I look inside myself, not seeing any good
I look around for my reflection
And only see mistakes
Why can't I do anything right
Why won't this wave of saddness roll on by
Why can't I be loved, cared for, or even wanted
And so with nothing else left
I let the tears free fall from the sky

First off I want to say that's some nice writing. Now, when you wrote this who were you "talking " to? It sounds to me like God, and if it is I want to point something out, even though I'm sure you already know it. Since you know how good I am with words, I will not use my words, but I will use His words.

You wrote
"I can't look...I can't reach"

Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3:5-6

You wrote
"In fear"

Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you
I Peter 5:6-7

You wrote
"I step back from you"

Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, "I WILL NEVER DESERT YOU, NOR WILL I EVER FORSAKE YOU"
Hebrews 13:5

hey...when the "You" is capitalized, then I'm talking to God...when it's not, I'm talking to someone else...either myself or some other person.
