Failure...

by SplitSided   Dec 9, 2005


The word rings in my head.
Over and over again.
I can't change what I've done.
And soon I can feel myself become.
The one thing I'm afriad to be.
Failure consumes me.
It exposes everything that I'm not.
And suddenly I'm lost.
And I suffer at my own cost.
I touch something and it's covered in frost.
In the blink of an eye, I'm something I don't wanna be.
My disdain isn't so hard to see.
And by the looks of it I'll never be free.
Failure hits me hard.
The answers seem so far.
I walk at night to clear my head.
And in my mind it echo's, everything that you said.
In my minds eye, I see failure.
Then it wasn't so clear.
And then, suddenly.
Failure consumes me.
I can't handle this.
The dreams, they were real.
Failure is all that I feel.
I screwed it up.
I'm not strong enough.
I never wanted it to come to this.
Was there something that I missed.
I went from the life of a simple man.
To a life that I'll never understand.
I can't say that I'm sorry.
Failure consumes me.
My disdain isn't so hard to see.
I never wanted this to end.
And now I have to watch my world bend.
Bend and twist.
I never wanted it to come to this.
I feel so afraid.
Take this all away.
I feel so unsecure.
All I feel is failure...
