Failure


Achieves to bring you down
 
Brings bad memories into your reputation
 
Crashes against you to stop from achieving your goals
 
Doors will not open if you can't ignore that "F" word (failure)
 
Expects you to fall in its trap 
 
Finds you no matter where and how you are well hidden
 
Grabs poisoned flowers to inhale that into our lives
 
Holds on nothing stops it to keep holding
 
It doesn't know your name but knows your weaknesses
 
Jokes around all the time so that when it's real you think it's a joke 
 
Kids refer to it as bad luck 
 
Liar that is what that is "FAKE"
 
Manipulates the strings attached to unattached
 
Never say that failure won and gave up
 
Opens wide up nothing compared to heartbreak
 
Protest will be won
 
Quakes are the urge to have a new victim
 
Reestablishes weak achievements
 
Shuts the front door so nothing interferes with its plan
 
Traps all kinds of things that we care about
 
Unites everyone against you
 
Volverte a ver "see you again" which will not happen
 
Wags side to side to be set free but not happening on my watch
 
EXcites to be passed on 
 
Yells your name but you can't hear it 'cause you are over it
 
Zesty is the opposite of what people call it
