The Fall

Tears stream down my face
Failure has overpowered me once again
Effort and pain, the horrid strain
All lost by few words of no gain

Tried, I have over and over
Yet this defeat I’m unable to cover
Pride has taken its dreadful fall
No joy, no faith, nothing at all

I question if this I deserve
Is this the fate I have craved
Such frustrating injustice they have reserved
Is this for me, a wonder I can’t explain

Have all the beads of sweat
Meant nothing but sheer regret
But failure has yet to have the best of me
For there’s still the will to make them see
Who someday, I can be
