I Failed

I failed
I failed 
I failed 
I took that pic and strummed like there’s no tomorrow 
I failed
I spectacularly failed 
I fell forward again only to fail to no avail
I continued to fail
I failed so badly life just smirked at me and spit 
I didn’t notice
I was too busy failing 
I forgot to quit
