Failed

Failure

I proceed to believe.

I think i've moved forward.

Reality hits.

Obliterates my lies.

My defenses.

Stripping me bare.

Nothing left but for pain and loss.

What was there to ever gain?

My stomach twists and turns.

Flips and knots.

I can't focus.

I can't care.

I look for you in my dreams.

But you don't come.

I fight to see your face.

But it blurs, unrecognizable.

Through the tears.

Curled into the corner.

Fighting back the insanity.

Pasting the smile.

Fighting the fear.

Put on a show.

Failure.

And yet...

I still proceed to believe.

That i'm getting somewhere.

Nothing.

Nothing there.

Too much to take.

Too much to handle.

The ache.

The hate.

I can't stop it from consuming me.

I fight so hard.

Or do I just believe i'm fighting?

Consumed.

Overtaken.

Breaking.

Failure.

    amazing

    I love this one especially baby. There exists a great difference in both of us when we are writing and when we speak and what i love most about your writing is unlike when we are speaking I dont have to analyze the opposites, just know that as I can see there are plenty of people on here who care and I will hold you up when you can stand no longer... I love your writing baby please dont stop.

      You are one of the few that have held me up...and every one here on AP has become some of my very best friends. I've never met them face to face and likely never will..but they've accepted me for me and loved me just the same. And yet my friends here at home can't even do that. I love you...and I pray that i'll never stop writing...I've always got you there to get me through. And your words and writes leave me stunned and speechless.

    Very powerful write. This was well written with much emotion expressed. This made me think of love and how sometimes in life maybe it can feel overwhelming sometimes and if love doesn't work out it can cause us to feel sad. Keep writing.

    This piece is amazing darling... I am in awe. I've had to reread it several times and it still draws me in. The imagery and background are fantastic... another great poem, love. I told you that you needed to write... you've done another awesome job. Love you!

    Beautiful.

    This draws me in, I've read it three times and I still feel the need to re read it. It's standing in front of me screaming what I've been too afraid to say.
    It feel so strong but so weak.
    Like you're putting up a defence, a fifty foot wall with barbed wire on top, but its only made out of sand, and its running away from you.
    and I'm rambling now...
    I love the short lines, and the short sentances,
    There's nothing I would suggest to change this, to make it better. I think it is perfect.

    whatever inspired you to write this...I hope it gets better soon...

    ohh this is deep, quick, has many attributes of a poem I love - and your feelings - the imagery is beautiful, use of metaphors astoundingly well controlled and the vigour in the words strong and rich. Nine thumbs up

    Such a deep and sad piece. It's a terrible when you are in this position. When you feel like no matter what you do and how hard you try, you don't get anywhere in this life. We all rise and fall throughout our lives. I think that as long as you keep trying and never give up on yourself and dreams, you haven't failed yet! To live your life telling yourself that you are a failure can cause low self-esteem and will always manage to bring you down.

    I think that you did a great job expressing yourself in this poem. I love the imagery and background that you have here. Beautiful work here and keep it up! Thanks a lot for sharing this with me here!
