Failure


Failure is the lines etched on my face
High hopes of life are the dreams torn away
Tearful remembrance keeps my life at pace
Yesterday forgotten; today washed away


Memories are imaginations of my mind
Reality show the cruelty of my life
Violence is the road I have to travel
Success is the dream that I strive


Justice is my crime
My insecurities have been born
Stolen is my prime
Life was here but now it's gone.
