Dear Failure


Dear Failure, 

Once upon a time, the thought of facing you paralyzed me with fear.

You danced in my brain relentlessly at the most inconvenient hour.

At your undeserving will, you sought for me to entertain you with fear and defeat.

I could feel your presence in my chilled fingertips

And you expected me to be your acrobat? 

No. 

I am unshakeable

I am uncontrollable

The unknown may be daunting but you do not haunt me

Come toward me, Failure, and I will take you on.

Sincerely, ya girl
