Failure Poem by Rose Marie Juan-austin
Failure
I tried my very best
I have exhausted
All that can be required from my capabilities
Beyond power and strength
But I lost.
Shoulders and tears dropped
Knocked the wind
Gritted my teeth
Felt the world
Has abandoned me.
I licked myself into shape
And have thought carefully
What went wrong
I prayed hard
And called on God.
I brushed myself
Honed my skills
And prepared myself
To get back
In the same arena.
Hell bent to win
I renewed my energy
Increased my pace
Used all legal means to win
But still for the second time
I failed.
I cannot accept defeat
And I told myself
I am not a quitter
I forced my butt
And tried with all my might
And here at the same field
For the third time.
Yet luck
And success
Were so elusive
I was doomed
To be a failure.
But my mind and heart
Cried otherwise
I used my failures
Put them together
To make me stronger.
I changed course
Now I see the light
Stars are shining bright above me
Finally
Fate smiles at me.

Beyond power and strength! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
You have proved that'failures are the pillars of success'.we should take it as a lesson from this beautifully crafted poem.
Falling down is never a failure, but lying down without trying to stand up is indeed a failure. You have been defeated many a time, yet you never gave up. Here I find in you the grit of a real fighter. Finally you turned failures into strengths and now success is yours and fate smiles at you! Wonderful....! Only people with this sort of a mental disposition will be successful in life Quite an inspirational write! Top score.....! !
