Failure Is a Myth
Faith dwindles.
Anger stokes in the fire.
Ignorance sits in the chair.
Love hides in the corner,
Usually, because it dislikes shame.
Regret lays sprawled out on the floor.
Emptiness sleeps by regret.
Intentions get out of wack.
Selfishness taking control.
Admitting only negativity.
Myth: Failure; Not getting back up after falling.
Yeah, it's hard, but you gotta,
Try harder.
Hearing positivity in the far off distance calling your name.
