What is seeing
Without vision
Or Hearing
Without comprehension
Can one feel sympathy
Without compassion
Or passion ...without
Dealing with the doubt
That always ........seems
...to come along
Saying
Somethings going to go wrong
Something Something.........Something
IS GOING TO GO WRONG !

Then you find yourself
Holding back as you wait
For the impending attack
Of DOUBT
To the point
That you lose sight
Of any hope...
..That could be....
Inspirational
But that beast is..
..insatiable
Once it finds a way inside
Where it then
Starts to screaming
Until that sound becomes
The ......only.........reality
So consuming
Like a shadow
Blocking out your view
Always..looming over you
Making everything you do
Seem like its
Just another rerun

That's when many
End up .....walking out ...out..
..Out the door
That is an example
Of the way
We always trample
All over our own vision
By ...accepting
Failure
As an alternative decision

But .... You know
As dark as this all sounds
I actually find failure
Is a companion
I always rely on
Like an old familiar shirt
That I always try on
Knowing
That it won't fit
Then.....and only then
Can we really move on
Trying on those new shirts

That are...Once acceptance
Is realized
As the path to victory
And is just waiting
To be seen with vision
And heard
With comprehension
And compassion
For the you that....
...you've Just left behind
That is how ......You fail.....
........To SUCCEED .
