When Failure Manifests



What happens when failure manifests?
Will it ever let us rest?
For when we fail, we feel hard lessons
We feel weak and defeated
The strain is hard to reckon
For when we fail, our feelings become augmented
By the presumption that failure is always present   
But failure doesn’t last forever
At least not for those who refuse to think it does
And that is how we succeed.
