Failure

Is that all they have to say?

Can’t there be a better way

Failure

They make me feel unwanted

In a way I’ve never felt before

I thought they would support me

But those thoughts were thrown out the door

Failure

I wonder if there’s a way out

But I have no doubt

Failure

No comprehension of what I strive for

Everything I’ve worked for

Crumbled to pieces on the floor where I kneel

Praying for something that can lift me of this spirit

I prevail

The feeling of ultimate purity

From within it’s a mental security

I prevail

Every single voice commanding and jeering

Wipes away with this one single feeling

Every sharp jab in my side

Has healed right before my eyes

By now I realize that I didn’t need their faith

Their negativities gave me no space

I was suffocating in my own domain

They’ll never fully appreciate my art

Never sparing of the pitiful parts

I proved myself in ways that they don’t see

But don’t believe me
I just prevail while others are set to sail
