help with metaphor [closed]

Solution 1:

To be a really apt metaphor, or a simile - since you are using "like", you need to consider more about the "fail".

Did you fail because you didn't try hard enough - "I failed like a kid who didn't study for a test".

Did you fail because it was too much for you - "I failed like a little kid trying to climb Mt Everest."

Did you fail because people didn't help you - "I failed like an actor trying to perform Julius Caesar by herself."

Did you fail because people worked against you - "I failed like a marathon runner dragging a wagon full of kids."

I'm not suggesting any of these similes directly, but suggesting how you can find an appropriate one yourself. Creative writing is finding the combination of words that pleases you. Good luck.
