rusted metal

failure is the rusted medal i would never win.
hours lost, i lie to myself as disappointment hovers above me;
siphoning my accomplishments of worth, this empty shell remains.

yesterday was something new, another trial from which i grew.
mistake after mistake you'd think i'd learn, instead i continue to spurn.
one more failure that adds inches to my growing pain.

this wretched world fuels my failure - if only it were easy to leave it all behind!
hovering disappointment and failure begin to descend; splitting me at the blade.
one more day, one more time and i will drop.
