The Ultimate Failure

Failure is something I'm good at
You could say I've mastered it
I've failed at relationships
I've failed at happiness
I've failed at being good at sports
Hell I even failed at suicide.
Three times.
The last one however,
Is the one that hurts the most
I still feel my empty self on that day
Hollow as my birth father
Pain so excruciating
I felt nothing Overwhelm me and smother me
When I gasped for air I realized
The gas I was breathing
Would kill me too
So which would kill me faster?
That night haunts me everyday
The blood stains not yet washed from my sheets
Even after four months
It's funny how the way I wanted to escape
Was the most painful way
But also the biggest relief
An addiction I had had for years
Almost let me be free
But once again
Like everything else in this life
I failed
