Failure
Life is cruel, and I can’t withstand failure
Despite all the suffering years I bear,
I shudder at the thought of falling again
And experience all that nightmare
This is more than a human can stand
Having a good life, and then falling down
Sitting at the window again,
Crying and watching my dreams rend
I fear starting over again
Fear has me on its shoulder
Feeling exhausted and hopeless again
Can’t move on, as age grows colder
Yet still, I search for a light in the dark
