Successful Failure

I was always the one

trying his best to succeed;

planning,

studying,

doing everything possible.

But life throws stones,

and has bumps in the road,

making things a bit more difficult.

I'm independent and dependent,

in debt and debtless,

and in love and alone.

Duality makes things harder

to know what to do.

I know there are those

who have things much worse,

but its hard not to feel,

like I am struggling to live.

I almost ended it,

tired of all the

stress

sadness

and suffering.

Those around me saved me.

I am still stressed.

I am still sad.

I am still suffering.

But now, those around me

are lending a helping hand

in order to help me

get through the rough times.

I am the one

trying his best to succeed,

planning,

studying,

doing everything possible,

to live life to the fullest.
