complete failure

complete failure

A Poem by marilyn 1225
"

how to cope with failure

"

one has to mourn for awhile

a personal failing

a heart wrenching disgarding

of the  heart and soul


how does one reckon with

the loss of appeal

the loss of ripeness

the perpetual messiness

the unathletic

almost crippled body

lungs impaired


not ready for death-  not ripe enough to be the chosen...

which is sort of a death in itself,,,


how does one throw away the love words

in a heart or mind

from years ago

throw them away

as nature throws us

all in time

away
