Failure

By Amanda Distefano

No one wants to fail
For to fail is to shatter, and show your weaknesses
If we are to show our limitations
Then how are we to be seen as victorious?
If failure does exist, it exists only in our minds
And our deep subconcious alone,
Constantly taunting us with it's powerful influence on this life
But if it does not exist, what are we to make of our unsound humanity?
How do we validate our struggles?
For whom do we blame our faults?
How do we know that failure is real
And not just a silent partner in everday life?
Then again, how do we know success is real
And not just a daunting impossibilty for which we strive?
If we're constantly reaching for the fantasy, how do we fix the reality?
How do we succeed when Failure surrounds us?
We must survive together
And strive when Failure's wretched claws seek to draw us back down
Then, just maybe, the reality will begin to mend.
