Premium Member Failure In a Life of Loss

Failure
In a life of loss
To please begin
Forget the cost
Breaking Benjamin
Does it best
To sing my soul
And let it rest

I tread so lightly
upon taut thread of being
holding back restrained
fearing failure ever poised
lopsided by threat reward

Nervous

Plunging into a task headlong
However short or long
always fear of  failure comes along
Do every task with heart full of song.

Uncertain the journey,
Unsure which way to turn
Jump, dig, swim, burn,
Failure needs no witness,
The audience gathers anyway.

I lose ~ objectives they win

Because of Wisdom and Love

Wisdom
can't prevent every failure

Love
can't wipe away every tear

And that makes me sad
      I believe we are here today.

Premium Member Just To See You Smile

I try 
to joke, but
it falls flat
Still, you smile
at my failure
Encouraging me to
try again 
And I do,
Just to see
you smile

Bitter

I still think about you. The
scent of lavender and failure and
heartbreak travel down my
tongue like the taste of unripened
oranges.

You Are What You Feel

Horrifying moment comes 
Wherever you feel scared

Burden appears 
Only when you feel weak

Failure takes place 
Whenever you feel can't

Success

Cuts
like glass
upon my face.
But I, the failure,
won the race.
And now that I have passed the test,
all there is left to do
is rest.

Success and Failure

Success is the transition point

Of dream to reality,

Whereas failure occurs when the hopelessness

Blends perfectly with bad attitude.
