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.
