My failure

[Guest Morbid Angel]

My life goes great,

I reunite with my best mate.

I rekindle my love

For those here and above.

 

I find myself again

And get rid of all my pain.

I forget my past

And move forward at last.

 

But as usual, crap hits the fan,

With my head spinning faster than I can.

My life goes dark and bleak,

I lose my strength and feel weak.

 

Everything I’ve done,

And all the battles I have won.

All go down the drain,

Getting washed away by the rain.

 

The storm clouds gather around,

And turn my smile upside down.

The pain floods back,

Replacing the yellow with black.

 

I see the end,

I am alone without a friend.

I feel all the hurt,

It returns stronger and I’m not alert.

 

It destroys my hard work,

Looking at me with a smirk.

Sniggering at the devastation it caused me,

Taunting me, saying I’ll never be free.

I'll take just a moment to note

(A purely parental sort of vote) -

That when a child is learning to walk

(Or even when that babe is babbling "talk"),

That persistent failure is met with a frown

(But it's hard to keep a good child down).

 

The past is dead and future choice's soil,

On toward the future the adult will toil,

Putting off the failures of the past.

(Although learning the lessons pretty fast!)

Always look forward to what you can do

Persistence and endurance will get you through.

 

Of course, if at first or second you don't succeed...

Failure may just be your style.

(Seriously, it's okay to fall and fail and stumble

As long as you get up and try again)

 

Hugs

Mm. I definitely feel what you're feeling there; I know exactly where you're coming from with this. I can definitely empathize with you here.
