The Reason, I Failed

Was it, the one for me The red eyes and the pale face That got my front seat Was it, the one to teach The reasons not to waile at thee ends of a happy fight Rejections in their dress That impressive statement " You suck at this" Will seduce your mind and keep you up at night Like bacterial on an old wine Your dreams but a note In the strings of a music laugh Will echo in times that past I sat with failure and she danced to the tunes rejection played. She then stole my heart We married and had, hate Eventually, she grew up to date "Depression" his name he; says The thaughts of memories That linger all day I became of age Now I have written over a page stereotypes i face today, from they; To let you know I cannot fight For I am bound to fail With my name on sale By Lekene Paul
