Failed a failure

Tooway

I have failed myself

by following a failure

it all looked copacetic

til the chains came off

 

I hurt myself and I want to die

I stay alive

for the woman who brought me life.

 

But every waking moment waits

for that last day

no more claims

My eyes just close and I never wake.

    Failed but not a failure.. I considered myself a failure for the inability to take my own life, but perhaps I've been successful at one thing, failing. And maybe with those failures we can build something more--a perspective nobody else has. Beautiful write
