Personal Failings
our personal failings are held inside
they show themselves when we call upon
them &
when we least expect them to rear their
ugly head---
lucky are those who have people round them
to distract from the suffering
which the self inflicts upon itself
when undergoing the regret of
personal failings,
but ironic is the fact that
to suffer is to survive &
to survive is to conquer
all those things which
would have it be otherwise,
even if one mustered them on their own,
alone.
