The Failure

I fall down to my knees,
battered and beaten.
Scars of my failures
cover my pale body.

All dried up,
with nothing left to give.
My wounded heart cries out for help,
it's slow beating echoes through the dark.

Life slowly escapes me.
The harder I try to live,
the harder I fall,
the more I bleed.

The scars that cover my body,
reminds me of times I tried, times I failed.
Misery lingers around me,
waiting to pounce over my helpless body.

The dreams I once had,
crushed by the cold grip of reality.
Dreams end once you open your eyes,
and see that they're nothing but fantasies.

A failure slowly being devoured by darkness,
I laugh at myself,
knowing it'll be the last laugh,
as I become lost in nothingness....
