Perpetual Failure

In the cradle of dreams where hopes ignite,

Shadows lurk, whispering truths of the night.

Each promise seems like a flickering light,

But gloom wraps around, dampening flight.

This burden I carry feels both heavy and slight,

Chasing dreams of a future that seems so bright.

Each attempt vanishes into the night,

And laughter fades, replaced by echoes of fright.

With dawn comes the fire that fuels my rise,

Determined to succeed, though met with surprise.

Every endeavor feels sweet, yet lies,

In the depths of each tear, the truth never dies.

Round and round, like a carnival’s spin,

With each heart-pounding turn, I long to win.

But every moment of courage brings chagrin,

As failure descends, like a sharp gust of wind.

I put on my bravest face for all to see,

Wondering inside if I’ll ever be free.

Behind the facade lies a chaotic spree,

This charade of success, which I continue to decree.

With laughter masking the weight of despair,

I paint a smile, but it’s never quite fair.

For whispers remind me, as I breathe in the air,

That success is a notion that can ensnare.

Their words cut deep, sharp and unkind,

A reflection of judgment from those left behind.

They do not see the battles fought in the mind,

Only what they perceive, blind to the grind.

As I navigate this unforgiving land,

Every slight feels heavy, a weight I can’t stand.

Yet in this darkness, a flicker so grand,

Is the hope that emerges from storms I have planned.

In solitude’s embrace, the mirror reveals,

A tapestry woven, in layers it heals.

Each flaw and misstep becomes part of the deal,

A story unfolding that time will conceal.

Maybe it’s here, in this painful release,

That I begin to grasp failure’s sweet peace.

For in every fall, there's a chance to increase,

And a phoenix can rise, as ashes decrease.

Let me embrace this never-ending plight,

With a fiery spirit, I’ll step into the night.

For failure’s a dance, both daunting and bright,

And with every misstep, I’m learning to fight.

Each stumble offers a lesson to take,

Each bruise on my heart, a chance to remake.

Though the shadows linger, I will not break,

In life’s rhythm, my soul is at stake.

With stitches of failure, this tapestry grows,

Every thread weaves tales of triumph juxtaposed.

The fabric of life, a radiant show,

Each hue of struggle paints beauty that glows.

In the gallery of growth, each pain finds its place,

For troubles of the past now emerge into grace.

In the arms of acceptance, I find my embrace,

In the essence of failure lies my space.

So here I stand, a traveler once more,

Navigating the valleys of dreams to explore.

While failure walks with me, its whispers roar,

I carry its lessons, etched deep in my core.

It’s not just the falling, but strength that we find,

When we learn to accept and leave judgment behind.

Embracing our failures, the gems intertwined,

A mosaic of trials, distinctly defined.
