Failures may crush us and shatter our core,

But they prod us to achieve more,

Because every failure holds lessons invaluable, 

And chisels us in ways intangible. 

 

Failures may surround us with darkness,

And throw us in acute distress,

But to hope once we learn to tether,

The fruits we reap shall never be bitter.

 

Failures may sing dirges somber,

The doubts and shame may seem to linger,

But it’s the pain and struggles that mold us,

And pave the gilded path to success.

 

Once acceptance becomes the key,

From the fear of failures we will be free,

As the wise say, ‘To err is human’,

Every failure is an opportunity to learn.
