Failure

what do you know of common failure
it's like being on a ship without
a sailor

hard to imagine right
try this for hindsight

your on a good boat
it's easy to stay afloat

however beneath is water
waves of no hope
alone with you yourself
hanging by a rope

no paddle and no sails
no fish and no whales

then suddenly a ghastly , overlapping, gaping hole
its growing tearing apart your very soul

it's your ship it cracked the hole is there
a ship not of hope but, rather of despair

your ships got a leak
your future is looking bleak

the tides of doom are pouring in
hopelessness like storming into a lions din

Its like trying to shoot a hoop a million feet high
why even attempt when it streches past the sky

you don't want to sink
so you stop and think
cause your on the brink
just before you even blink

your in the water of no return
can't swim the waters hot
you start to
burn

thats the life of a common failure
a ship of despair
a heap without anchor, no more rope
a ship alone without even one sailor
waters that don't care
waters with no meaning and no hope
such is the way for all failures
the failures out there

A very descriptive poem of what life seems like when you fail at something. However, hopefully, we can pick ourselves up and go on to sail happily another day into the sunset! At least I like to think I can! purple heart Have a good day!
