FAILURE Composed by Peris N. Wamutitu.

Failure is a human feeling that leads,
to a welling up of emotions,
resulting in self rejection, self pity,
agony, anger, disbelief,
low self esteem, low self drive and,
the ardent desire to give up,
the efforts and the resources that were put in,
in an effort to avoid,
this very much dreaded event,
pass before ones eyes,
like from a film tape,
on an ancient film projector,
step by step detailing,
every tireless effort put in,
the resources that went into play,
 and the end result is nothing,
nothing to be proud of,
nothing to display,
nothing to share,
frustrated, fatigued, fed up,
and in great agony coupled,
with anger and deep anguish,
one becomes indifferent,
intoxicated with negative emotions,
and one feels incapable of achievement,
leading to laxity, loss of interest,
and the lack of the initial self drive,
the end result is uncertainty,
of what to do  next,
then one remains undecided,
on what steps to take,
due to the unwillingness,
to accept the fate at hand,
ridicule, remorse, resentment,
come in like a storm,
and become a constant,
companion and reminder,
of this unfortunate tumble,
that led to a free fall,
failure drains away,
all initially existing expectations,
it exhausts the body and the mind and,
eventuallyexpels remnant energy,
if any ever was present.
