Failing is like falling.
Like falling right off the edge of a cliff.
And there's nothing to hold on to
And there are no harnesses or ropes
And you're too far away to land on a ledge.
I guess I'm constantly falling.
My stomach tight,
Body tensing up
As gravity pulls me to the inevitable.
Failing is worse than falling, actually.
Because at least if I fall
I can see the ground coming.
And then I hit it.
And then it's over.
With failure, there is no telling
Just how far down you'll end up.
Or how much damage you'll take
When you eventually hit the floor.
Or worse...
What if there is no floor? What if you never stop?
Maybe this is it for me.
Doomed to this never-ending cycle.
Always failing.
Always falling.
