Failure

Failure In the buckets of doubts Slowly, calm my mind goes blank Hopping, stooping, running, oh, the race is tiresome What! Who to tell? Maintaining it pains Having it gone much more Most especially when it’s from stress As beauty pierces one's heart As affliction darkens her mind That is the feeling As stress produces scrunches As it draws you near the mourning feast As you get tempted to surrender That is when it gets worse As if, it's always as if she was born to have you hurt Invest in all you have Work hard my friend It all depends on one's efforts It's not by chance but by choice Simply put, it sounds simple But wonder why? How? What? How does it happen? It's always, as if always she is there to have your belligerent The non-stop blaming statements Parents failing to understand Teachers pretending they were not around Friends rejoicing their victory as if you didn't attend the same class Success tips viewed as nothing but vanity Grasping for the wind is the result It’s always as if she was put in place to wake your worries up All this leaves a fog of doubts It creates a loophole of what success meant to mean Setting goals may be a step to the war Hard working a warrior Tests battlefields Giving it your definition the first shoot By only working smart one can be the purple host.

Hello! Inasmuch as failure hurts, it's by understanding failure, one gets a true understanding of success. Failure defines success.
