F a i l u r e

The stench of it fills the air

Flooding the car

s e e p i n g into my lungs

Overwhelming my senses

She says nothing

She doesn't have to

I can feel the disappointment radiating off her Drowning me

S u f f o c a t i n g me

Just from the look in her eyes I know

I have failed her

Again

Its pushing me into my seat Holding me down

Like invisible shackles

Worn and c o l d

I'll try to do better

I can do better

I have to do better

I w i l l do better

To fail is not an option

I dont fail

I dont fail We dont fail

I dont fail We dont fail we win
