Failure Hit
With bated breath,
I was awaiting the outcome,
I knew it could be no or firm,
beleive me I was such an optimist,
that I kept thinking only of firm,
knowing pretty well what is the probability of firm,
that my expectations were aligned to the firm,
made that outcome far more valuable,
than the no about which I thought none,
When it came,
it hit like athud,
that the outcome was dud,
the outcome about which I had thought none,
was here right and now,
though I still had to comprehend it and know,
It took me a time before it sunk in,
but now I knew why failures hit us hard,
because we have not thought about them near and far.
