Failure Poems
FAILURE
by Tanisha Grover
Let's talk about it,
Let's undergo through it,
Let's counterreason it,
Let's acknowledge it,
Let's not bound to it,
Let's not be scared of it,
Let's not overthink it,
Let's not allow it to demolish our dreams,

done
by Mackenzie Bilz
Why is it, it seems
That all the trouble comes from me?
I’m the reason,
no other explanation
All the pain seeps from me.
Pointing fingers
Frantic eyes
Desperate seekers
To nothing I find

Oh! With What Unspeakable Anguish
by Carl Halling
Oh! With what unspeakable anguish
Do I regret the vocation
I came so close
And so oft to having
The sweet acclamation
That might have been mine.
Had I tried and failed,
That would scarcely concern me,
Yet, I squandered my resources

A Fool Has No Access To Success
by mv venkataraman
A fool gets cheated,
He gets easily defeated,
He has never repeated,
But, has only retreated,
He has never completed,

I thought
by Abasiama Udom
I thought I failed
My heart believed it
I knew I was a failure
my lips told of it
I am a failure.
Nothing remaineth
the bird flee
the dogs even -
at my voice
A failure -

The futility of Joy
by Corben Bruce
I lie at night with music playing,
I convince myself it is to inspire
to create or feel or help me sleep
Instead i use it to drown the thoughts from my mind
An empty canvas with bright colours
I lie with eyes open in the darkness
for to close them is to invite images to fill the void
When they are open i see nothing
but closed i can see everything

Alone, I wept and confronted my plight
by Adison Ahuja
In the depths of struggle, I confronted my plight,
With trepidation and uncertainty, my soul bled.
Alone, I wept, fears concealed, hidden from sight.
Weeks stretched on, casting shadows of blight,
As I grappled with the weight that lay ahead.
In the depths of struggle, I confronted my plight.
Fearful of disappointing, my heart took flight,
Desiring to honor those who believed in me, I pled.

Chasing Dreams and Fading Stars
by Oscar Auliq-Ice
I am a traveler in this life,
Drifting through days and nights,
Chasing dreams and fading stars,
Hoping to find my place, my bars.
The world is vast, and I am small,
Yet I have a voice, a story to tell,
Of love and loss, joy and pain,
Of all that makes life worth the strain.
