Failure is viewed as a horrific thing,
But really I don't mind it, and neither should you.
It's not the end of your great dreams,
It's a stepping stone everyone must cross.
It will take some time,
It will take more hard work,
But failure should not scare you away;
It should invigorate you to do better
To work harder,
To be wiser,
To continue to pursue your dream.
Failures pile as steps
In the path of your dreams.
Stand on them, tall and proud,
Even if you feel like you should hurle yourself off the edge.
Because the more steps your take on top of your failures,
The closer you get to your personal perfection.
