failure (6/30)

I thought I wouldn't be stuck here
thinking of what to write
what to tell
with suppressed
unfortunate thoughts of failure

punching in one letter
at a time
with fears of failing you
instead of myself

those words and words and words
are pulling my nerves
I know they will devour you
before they
kill me

I would rather I go first
with my protests
on paper
before you acknowledge
their imperfections

I am success inverted
metaphorically speaking I hope
but only in my mind

failure again
