Poetry Over Prose

Try

Failure is a necessity,
For it's like a part of a recipe.
A recipe for success,
Although that's just my guess.

Start with a normal life,
Then cut it with a knife.
Watch as it struggles,
Before the intensity doubles.

All you do in life is try,
Even though at times you may wonder why.
Your attempts won't always end so miserably,
As your success rate will grow considerably.

So go out,
Forget your expectations,
Leave the stress behind,
And just try.

But always remember
That trial and error
Are forever contributing
To the bigger picture.

It takes anger
To know love.

It takes perseverance
To know success.

It takes mistakes
To know what's right.

And it takes courage
To accept your past in order to better your future.

Try,

Try,

And try again.

Because no matter how often you lose the games,
You will eventually win the match.

You know who you are <3
