Failure Poems - Poems about Failure

I fear many things. I fear I stay complacent in my own misery. Time is of the essence, yet action for change is unattainable And I speak of change possible for myself, which is perhaps the most upsetting point to note, for my limits are set on a glass roof I fear I will shatter with my feet on the...

When love is a failure The bird of love sits in a gilded cage, sometimes it gets out and flies in search of mischief. Anton, a young student from a middle-class family sat in a crowded café drinking a beer, when Maria entered, she had a coffee since the café was full Anton beckoned for her to sit with him...

Every step made with anticipation, Words written with hope , Dreams dreamt under the stars , Words articulated with care . The pen and ink all witnesses, The paper the great bearer of truth, The walls saw in silence - As the future got laid on white paper. Dreaming is good , Having hope is sweet, Plans make the future seen , But failure comes unannounced...

To draw is something … I could never do well, The joy a picture can bring The stories it can tell I could never do well Drawing freely on my own, The stories it can tell Remains for me unknown Drawing freely on my own Pencil, paint and line, Remains for me unknown A skill that is not mine Pencil, paint and line An artist...

So many ways to say one thing More than one way to turn pawn to king Too many turns to the grocery store Which turn shall I take? Countless words to choose from From sunrise to sunset Too many ends to be met With no end So many ways to say one thing How will I say this? The paralysis of perfection pours A whisper...

The outside is where I belong The inside so filmiar A constant stride to belong To fit the mold of what a man should be Weak I am cancered by self denial When will it end for me Alone I be What a disappointment A shaded comparison of where I started I seek something But back away When it gets hard I blame all but...

Dear Failure, Watch as the morning shadows dance upon our faces, while I seek answers in the silence between heartbeats, where my desires and yours intersect like two waves, and in their depths, I wish to find a moment of peace. I propose a silent truce, an understanding between two weary souls, to sit at the edge of time, watching the...

I’m a failure. I’ll always be one. I make everyone around me, disappointed, sad, angry, anxious. It never stops. I can’t be a good daughter, a good granddaughter, a good friend, or a good girlfriend, or even a good person. I’ll never be able to change, no matter how hard I try. I hate it. I hate everything. I hate myself. I’m a failure....

Useless bodies They roll around aimlessly Ram into anything they can destroy Their own pleasure. Their own entertainment It's all about them, Let them live....

I go to the supermarket to buy some mangoes. I’ve had five coffees And spent hours on detangling computer wires. Reciting a poem I remember from fourth grade I opened another three college letters in the mail yesterday. The mailman’s teeth were yellow. We regret to inform you We regret to inform you We regret to inform you that There are no...

"Hi". One word takes my to those blue skies of heaven, your voice the north on a compass in the sea. How I crave for those brief interactions, occasional furtive glances, occasional day dreamy stares. How I wish I could cover the distance between us in two great strides, roll you in my embrace and say what I've been holding on so deeply...

Lions don't barks They roar Always active and focus Ready to take action at any time They set eyes on a prey or an attacker. Lions don't relent They go furiously and fearlessly After what they want or need No matter the recklessness. In the game of life Be the lion Pursue your dreams relentlessly Go after all you want or need Slowly and...

I fend with the wine I hide with a laugh I jeer at my time Forlonging so as it pass I stand with my defiance I fall with pride I swim through my failures I lay my faults by the side I never cease to care I don't want my love to end I stare at a vortex of hate And i lost to that...

The well is dry, but their tongues still plead, Cracked lips shaping prayers the gods will not heed. The land rots in surplus, a kingdom of waste, Where hunger is measured and profit is praised. They crawl to the mirage, ribs piercing their skin, Eyes full of water that won’t let them in. Gold liquefies, flesh withers to dust, The towers loom...
