Failure


Failure How easy it is to accomplish How simple is it to walk down that path Maybe for some it is Not ME Failure is not my friend I've worked so hard to keep failure at bay I've tried so hard to elude it Failure is like a cancerous growth Infecting every inch of me until I AM Failure I feel it creeping slowly along the curves of my body Feeding on all my happiness Leaving me with endless tears Failure It is what I am becoming It will be my future I'll die a Failure like my mother and father Like their parents before them But everyone's a Failure Yes. Success with bring Failure too. Either way I lose. It's becoming quite common actually.
