There's a failure to acknowledge failure
In this prideful world of today
To admit you were wrong, change it up then move on
And not be stuck in that single mind state

Not a soul here has their act together
If you must know the truth
Some just fake it better than others
Something I have yet learned how to do

But I do acknowledge when I've done something wrong
And try my best to learn from it
Every time that I fall, get up dust myself off
Then try not to do it again

Have we not seen throughout history
That failure can be a learning curve
When you see what went wrong, make a U-turn
Leaving it far behind in the dirt

Instead of having it on steady repeat
To do it over and over again
What do they say about insanity
Expecting it to work out in the end

I'm not saying to embrace the failure
Just acknowledge that it's there
When you slip from the trip quickly get over it
In this game we play of truth or dare
Failure is everywhere
Got this idea from my favorite Pod caster, Andrew Klavan (the man's a genius)
