I’m failing
Falling
Falling off a cliff

Through the bushes
Trees and sticks

Nestled in the thicket
Shook up, but aware

Just another hurdle,
Another cross for me to bare

Days pass quickly now
Nights hover, linger

Teases me with a cool breeze
Puts me through the ringer

I’m stagnant
Without a course to brave

Hidden in the shadows
As not to face the day

Condemned to an existence
Never making waves

Falling from good graces
You’d truly be amazed

Hour after hour
Voluntarily enslaved

The odds were in my favor
Success was just a phase

So I took a leap of faith
And sent off my decision to be appraised

Turns out after all,
It wasn’t worth, nearly what I payed
