Failure


The ultimate demise, the heavy darkness to an overpowering light.

A dream shattered by overbearing nightmares the one-hit wonders that were never heard from again, the sports teams that could have went all the way but bombed under pressure.

When someone says it's not an option, but if success is to hard to achieve where do you turn, does failure have a cousin called somewhat success can a person half fail.

Where does one draw the line between always getting what you want versus never getting what you want but striving for it anyway.

What is success compared to failure you can succeed anytime but to fail is magic, because to fail you have to try, you have to want to succeed.

What's failure you ask the power to want it, try to achieve and bomb, and doing it all over again, because failure is just learning from your mistakes.
