I give and you take;

Can’t you change that for my sake?

You make this too hard.

It’s hard to convey so much with so few words. Well done.

@cmobb5618 There's no rule that says haikus can't rhyme, it adds a nice touch.

Other than that, I think this is really good haiku.

"I didn't get good by sitting there. I actually got up and did something."

A haiku is so simple, and I've only looked at the ones teacher's have gave me. But you did such a good job putting so much emotion into a haiku!
