Failure

Failure is said to be the greatest teacher

But the only thing I have is a bitter taste

I am left feeling like the lowest creature

Fail after fail, one more time waste


A new attempt and one more fail

Should I even bother trying again

Constant failure ever present, this is now stale

Do I have a fail needle stuck in a vein?


One more failed effort and I will break

Anything new has become a pointless task

Should I even try again knowing what is at stake?

My disappointing failures now cover my face like a mask


Right now giving up seems the safest bet

Every single fail has turned my heartbeat sour

Surrounded by hourly failure I always fret

It seems that all I can do is hide my face and cower.
