FAILURE


I am a failure at failing.

I do not just fall, I get back up.

I rise to my own two feet and feel the power in my legs stir.

 

I am a failure at failing.

All the memories of failing and falling,

I turn them into wisdom and share it with the world.

 

My very breath, My own voice, My own exsistance

it is here to consume what is known as failure

and spit it back out because i own it.

 

So yes, I am a failure.

But only so as i grow

As I grow stronger and overcome my short-commings.
