Out of Options

No, I won't. I cannot fail this time. Countless times I've failed to achieve perfection. What if someone takes my place? Who am I, if not the best? I cannot fail.

Sometimes it's about recognising that perfection is only a perception. If we ask those we deem perfect, they'll likely have a list of anxieties. The same with failure, redefine success as small incremental steps in the right direction with an overall upwards trajectory. A wobble on that upwards line isn't failure. Good luck and I hope your poetry helps
