Failure

[yamyam_kat]

Failure a failure,
What had I done?
I had failed
More than one test!
I’m a failure!
Even my teacher says so!!
I fail
And I fail…
I also succeed to fail
But never once not failed.

I’ll try it.
I didn’t fail!
I didn’t!
I made it out alive
And well
And decided
I shouldn’t
Ever try to fail again,
Not ever!

There's this really nice section in your second stanza that starts with "I made it out alive" and ends with "Ever try to fail again!" It has a really nice rhythm and was super fun to read. Well done!

I have always enjoyed your work, and this is no exception.

To me there is an underlying acceptance of failure in the first verse, of failure and being a failure. But then in the second verse success is achieved and failure fails, and can be rejected, disowned, and abandoned.

Yay!

Well done!

I admire your determination!
