Embracing Failures

An Autobiographical Poem

Failure is my name
My story is too harsh to claim
The doors on hearing my name remains shut
I outline it out that beyond any cloud
My Life is also not rosy but silhouette with rusts…!

As I seek in
World out there gets petrified
None appreciates me nor appreciated
None are welcoming towards me
My path remains thorny
In search to identify what is my individual story…!

Failure I am
And I get compared to all negatives
Assign me innumerable names
But my story still remains the same
Whether it’s dark clouds or haze of distress
Whether it’s the rustling leaves or withered spring
Failure is to be blamed for everything…!

I am here out to tell my story
Failure is my name and I am empathetic too
What’s in the Life to leave me cornered
Why do I always have to face denial
Embracing me I know wouldn’t be easy
But let me tell you once I am acknowledged I create history…!

Life covers a broad spectrum
And when success gets appreciated
Failure should not be kept shunned
When engulfed me with wise
I will help you analyze the “beauty in disguise”…!

Failure you may scream
I am part and parcel of every dream
When connect me with positives
I leave behind pristine glories…!

During the tenure of my stay
I will tell you where in Life you stand
Who are your real pals and who may betray
I mirror out the real self within you
I carve out the niche of strength
People during this time may ostracize you
But I will make your way through the stormy sail…!

Embracing me arrays lessons of depth
Where you can shine even when left
No matter how harsh Life could be at you
No matter how pain defines you
Breathe in there
For Life transforms after failures…!

With time I may collapse
But I will leave behind wings of hope
I will leave behind light in darkness
I will inculcate a stronger version of You
Life would be such that even when you feel like collapsing
You will have strength to uplift to…!

It’s my time to bid adieu
This is my story which world calls Failure
Address me with whatever one may
But embrace me in times of dismay
The stars shine more in dark
Hence if Failure at times becomes your friend
You will soar high with utmost strength…!

Failure is my name
Instead of getting scared
Embrace me as your guiding friend…!
