Letdown

Letdown
So many chances so many near misses, 
like a promising spring suddenly turning wintery
and killing budding plant life.
Or a storm came and blew away all senses  
Turned it into a loathing where success dare not
Intrude like spoiling a dream.
Falling down an ice cavern unable to get up in time 
Not trying hard enough, so the dream can live on 
Failure is the ultimate goal it does not need to be
Repeated
