Welcome to My Poetry Site
Failing to succeed
What is seeing
Without vision
Or hearing
Without comprehension
Can one feel sympathy
Without compassion
Or passion without
Dealing with the doubt
That always....seems
..to come along
Saying
Somethings going to go wrong
Something something...Something
IS GOING TO GO WRONG!
Then you find yourself
Holding back as you wait
For the impending attack
Of doubt
To the point
That you lose sight
Of any hope
That could be inspirational
But that beast
Is insatiable
Once it finds a way inside
And then
It starts screaming
Until it becomes
The...only...reality
So consuming
Like a shadow
Blocking out your view
Always looming over you
Making everything you do
Seem like it's
Just another rerun
Seen it all before
Just another rerun
That's when many
End up....walkin
Out...out... Out the door
So that is an example
Of the way
We always trample
All over our own vision
By accepting
Failure
As an alternative decision
But you know
As dark as this all sounds
I Actually find failure
Is a companion
I always rely on
Like a familiar old shirt
That I always try on
Knowing
That it won't fit
Then and only then
Can we really move on
Trying on those new shirts
That are...
Once acceptance is realized
As the path to victory
Is just waiting
To be seen with vision
And heard
With comprehension
And compassion
For the you that ...
..you just left behind
And that is how
You fail......
...To succeed.
Without vision
Or hearing
Without comprehension
Can one feel sympathy
Without compassion
Or passion without
Dealing with the doubt
That always....seems
..to come along
Saying
Somethings going to go wrong
Something something...Something
IS GOING TO GO WRONG!
Then you find yourself
Holding back as you wait
For the impending attack
Of doubt
To the point
That you lose sight
Of any hope
That could be inspirational
But that beast

Once it finds a way inside
And then
It starts screaming
Until it becomes
The...only...reality
So consuming
Like a shadow
Blocking out your view
Always looming over you
Making everything you do
Seem like it's
Just another rerun
Seen it all before
Just another rerun
That's when many
End up....walkin
Out...out... Out the door
So that is an example
