first attempt at learning

that's what they used to tell us

a fail isn't a fail

it's a first attempt at learning

you can grow and build from it

you can make it something wonderful

but the disappointment that accompanies it

that's the real devil of failure

they don't teach us how to overcome that

the nagging feeling of guilt

the fear that we missed out

that there was an opportunity left untaken

a chance that could've changed fate's path

changed the course of life itself

they don't teach us what to do then

how to deal with the pain

the suffering

the ever closing-in mask of disappointment

but all that we truly need

is to take a deep breath

to breathe in for four

one

two

three

four

and breathe out for four

one

two

three

four

because there is always a point

in disappointment

and that point is to grow.
