Failure Is Not the End

Just One Bend...

Life has a lot of hurdles.

It has so many,

they'll make you wanna curdle

into a ball, if any.

They'll send you to the darkest pits,

they'll make you go through the biggest fits,

they'll throw you through the rough,

they'll try to see if you're tough,

you'll see each altercation,

and may believe failure is a destination.

Failure is NOT the end.

Failure is simply one bend

in the long road of life.

One pointless strife

on the path to success,

not the aftermath of a bad process.

Failing is not somewhere you go.

It's something that helps you grow,

You learn from it.

You earn from it.

When you fail,

that's not the end of the trail,

you have a whole life ahead of you,

don't let one strife behead you,

this sudden turn

doesn't mean this is where you burn.

Do not let one mistake...

Do not let one heartbreak...

Do not let one painful ache

become a venomous snake,

become an earthquake,

become a stake

into your make,

stay awake,

don't be fake,

YOU HAVE THE WORLD TO TAKE!

Failure is not a destination.

Let it be your chance, for domination.
