What does failure feel like?
Please tag me in the comments so I can read your entries!! ^^
Failed
Failed.
We live in terror of the word.
If you fail at something simple,
There's no hope to go on.
If you fail at something hard,
That's no better.
Learn from your mistakes,
How can you when it hurts
Like a knife into your chest
That twists with every breath?
You put it there yourself
Because you failed.
It's more than a letter on a page,
It's more than a simple "no."
It's a feeling of such darkness
That's completely self imposed.
Why is it all so hard
Now that you've failed?
We live in terror of the word
And terror of the pain,
Like standing in the fire,
Like drowning in the sea.
And then we'll say we're terrible
Incapable of anything.
All because we failed
At just one simple thing.
