The Lack of Success


Everyone's afraid of you. 

I'm not. 

No one wants you. 

I do. 

You've taught me so much, 

To know what success is, to not be afraid. 

But it wasn't always this way. 

I have feared your very name. 

I have overcome this. I have overcome you. 

I have defeated problems and learned from your help. 

I am prepared by having you in my life. 

Thank you failure. 

You are the thing that has helped me grow. 

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
