Failure

There was a time when I thought I would die fighting

That no trial could bow my head

But life is a moment

and every moment ends

There's no more time to turn the tide

No time to escape this cage

Failure looms before me, a wicked grin beneath its monstrous eyes

I am too tired to stare at it's hideous face

too tired to pretend I don't want to flinch

I bend my knee

I bow my head

and beg to spend my final days in blissful slumber

There are things in life that even the strongest among us must acquiesce to...the good news is we don't always have to stay bowed. It's a strong and emotive poem.
