Failure, oh failure, you haunting friend,

A bitter pill to swallow, a bitter end.

You lurk in shadows, ready to pounce,

And when you strike, it hurts like a thousand ounce.

You bring with you sadness, you bring with you pain,

You make us doubt ourselves, you make us feel insane.

But maybe, just maybe, you're not so bad,

Perhaps you're just a lesson we should have had.

For in your wake, we often find,

A newfound strength, a clearer mind.

We pick ourselves up, and start anew,

With a better plan, and a goal in view.

And though you hurt us, we'll never forget,

The lessons you taught, the wisdom you beget.

For you, oh failure, are not the end,

But a chance to grow, to learn, to ascend.

So come, oh failure, we welcome you,

For we know that in your midst, we'll find what's true.

We'll rise again, stronger than before,

And in our hearts, your lessons we'll forever store.
