Courage To Fail


I don't really have much to say for my first post, so I'll just share this poem I made for English


Courage To Fail
by Jose Marie Mateo

I thrive through the course of life
Dodging through what first will strike
Clueless! What will I come to strife?
This ground I'm standing at,
The path I opt to combat
I pray, not the place I'll stumble at

Thoughts just vie through my mind
Shall I risk this fate of mine?
...and gamble with destiny on the line?
Yes! Cast this soul into persuasion
To go through, that's my decision
Failure, it must fail not my mission

Now,
This ever courageous will
Shall no longer lay still
'Cause failures will no longer blockade
Instead, will be an aid
For trials I was once afraid
