Just a Failure
- a Poem
- by Jethro André Jolliffe
I’m a failure
Just a Failure
I failed to do what i should have done
I failed to be what i should have been
I don’t see light anymore
I don’t see an end to this tunnel
I don’t see what i saw before
Before, all this started.
Please spare me another glance
I’ll fix everything
From my toes to my ears
Even if failure cuts like a knife
I’m sorry i disappointed you
I know I’m not perfect
Sorry i messed up
Can I start anew?
