Whose power is it? .....

I have failed

I have failed myself first

I have failed God

I have failed the world.

Tears trickle down

Why did I fail?

Does it mean I am not good enough?

I need to know why I failed

I have promised to shoot myself

I have promised to put a rope around my neck

I have promised to poison myself,

On event of my failure

But I can’t bring myself to do anything

Why did I fail?

No one would understand,

That I do not have the powers to win in my hand

They have the power

They run around with so much pride

Rubbing it in my very black face

Now they have done the worst

I surely next time won’t put my fate in another’s

This is because I haven’t failed

They have failed me

Liars, they blamed me for my failure

But it is them who do not like me

But still it comes down to the fact that I have failed

The fact that I’m a failure

But I shall try again and try again

But when I try again and try again

I shall remember my fate lies in the hand of God

And I would wave my success in their face

And yes I would succeed.
