Fear of Failing
Failure.
That's what I fear.
What if all the work doesn't pay off?
What if I turn into who I don't want to be?
What if my goals remain unachieved?
What if?
Everybody fails,
At some point I did too,
But not everyone
Feels a numbing pain
Like I do.
My fear of failing
Isn't just in my head
It's a powerful chain around me,
The chain that keeps me in control
The chain that makes me push a little more.
The fear runs deep in my veins
It's not just failing
It's also disappointing.
And a disappointment is what I don't want to be.
So failing isn't an option
Even if all the work literally kills me.
Failure is worse that death anyway
Atleast death won't make me feel worthless.
Let me take these pills
Drink this wine
In just a bit Ill feel just fine.
Until then I just can't
Seem to stop this water
coming from my eyes!
Just kill me now
Put a gun to my head
Pull the trigger, pop!
I'm finally dead!
That was easy you see
To put me out of my misery
For love and my best friend
Have forsaken me
There are no Angels that want
To help me back up now
I've taken my last bow
So I retreat back to the forest
To where I belong
Where I be with the birds song
I was not meant for this world anyway
That's why I just couldn't stay.
Midnight Train
Mad mouse cavorts
on midnight train
in ecstasy ramble
dancing feet
light of full moon.
He embraces cheese morsels
scattered on floor
by messy mortals
stuffing yawning mouths.
Mouse bares teeth
at those who try
to encase him
in little metal
torture devices.
He snatches cheese
and leaves the trap
ensnaring plump
sausage fingers
of humans unaware
Sacrificial alter
to their despair.
Whiskers wink as
mouse roars again
leaving
on midnight train.
