failure, it's all your fault,
you hate it, yet it's all you know,
you worship it, it's your religion, your cult,
you live it, yet it brings you woe.
failure like an evil demonic god,
grips your life in its intoxicating hands,
the threads of your life begins to sod,
cutting each of your soul's fragile strands.
self-pity is like cutting yourself with a knife,
shedding your own blood, yet you know not why,
purposefully adopting all the world's strife,
and reaching for answers, but they're too high.
failure is a poison, it saps all your health,
failure is shackles you put on yourself.

I really like this. However failure isn't always a bad thing.. its learning through this failure.. discovering where you are going wrong and picking your weaknesses to create them into strengths to make yourself better at what you do! Keep up the good work!
I appreciate the comment, I understand what you are saying, the poem would be more accurate if I put self pity in the place of failure, but it didn't sound right with the piece.
Great write
thank you
