fail


Some may say that

failure is not an option.

While pride agrees,

fear does not.

If it wasn't for failure,

inventions would not exist,

some people would not exist,

perhaps even we would not exist.

While it is true

that pride gets hurt

too much of pride

gets you hurt.

Remember that you must fall

before landing

and that you must land

before flying.
