Failure
My greatest failure was that
I never had enough of them
I chose the last seat
The second best
Tried hard
But never harder
I flew with my wings
Close to ground
Safe in the knowledge
That the fall will never hurt
Never really understanding
The beauty of the sun
The blaze of risking
All that I had
So that the weak bones of mine
Could burn away
with the ability to shine
