42.195 and going

gr-uhikpqwc-isaac-wendland

if success were easy
it would be common
to a fault, with no one
vying to attain it

that’s why so many of us
leave the journey
midway, when it seems
farther, unattainable

success is a slow jog
run breakneck, and give
up the dream, to ever
witness the joy

it’s a steady stream
that you get inch by inch
one foot ahead of
other, like a marathon

desperate

7laao0nywv4-jake-ingle

the world around me
crumbling carelessly
and there i stand
on the edge of despair

who am i if all is lost
why am i the one still
here and now as it ends
lone, sad and mourning

should i feel guilty
of making it all the way
or should i rejoice
for i am still standing

maybe i should look closer
as the world still spins
and it’s me alone, gone
clinging to hope

worthless?

am i worthless now
to be discarded heartless
never to be remembered
ever again

what used to be confidence
is replaced with fear
all these eyes can see now
is failure

am i worthless now
with the world moving on
why would they have space
for news old

with these feet shaking
but with a mention of fate
seemingly agreeing
they can’t dance anymore

am i worthless now
for the truth is clear
what was once a legend
is lost forever

my successful mistakes

a dread spread throughout
for a decision can change life
regret will be the only friend
and the wound will be rife

but isn’t it better if it’s me
who is responsible for his own
mistakes that are made on the way
instead of blaming people unknown

so let me face my failure
for success is elusive but nigh
give up myself for a shortcut
my god you must be high
