“Do not fear failure.”
Yeah, sure, that’s a nice
piece of advice,
but what do you do when the pressure
for perfection becomes a vice
that squeezes your thoughts into irrationality
and muffles your breath
into a raspy gasp.
The feeling of you knowing
you could have touched the stars
makes your insides collapse.
All the drive to be the best
breaks my want to even try.
Slowly, like someone fading
away into cancer,
my ambition seems to die.
Yet, I know that if I lose
my passion for goals
my life will become
a torn rag full of dust and holes.
Maybe by not caring about rankings,
hierarchy, or all the rest.
This fortune will come true,
“Your ability for accomplishment
will be followed by success.”
