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.
