failure

incorrect

something that should have

never been

incorrect

a being of disillusioned

experiences and truths

 

inaccurate

proportions and measurements which

define me as a logical fallacy

inaccurate

colors and hues which

do not correspond with my inner being

 

imprecise

ideas and beliefs spilled onto a canvas

with little to no direction

imprecise

translations of my true self

with no attempt to fix it

 

mistake

didn't think it through

because I didn't think I had to

mistake

didn't predict the real outcome

because I thought they'd understand

 

failure

with nothing more than a swift brush stroke

and some applied use of sense of self

failure

was the only thing I could think of

as I opened my eyes by the burning candle light
