To age without life, to die

[itrybutyousee]

And so
I tried
But yet at least I did not fail
For failing would have been easy

From so many different ways to fall
I could have fell
And from so many ways to die
I did not die

For failing could have been done
In so many different ways
Clutched from below
And dragged downward
Yet pulling from so many different directions

To death, we fail
And death we fear
For truely dying
Is not to live
And to truely die
Is to fail
And to truely live
Is to seldom succeed
And never to fail

And yet
I did not fail
And in that I may not succeed

But

I did not fail

Instead

I lived
