A dark cloud engulfs,
A barrier is reached.
Try as I may,
The wall cannot be breached.
Efforts go in vain,
Resources depleted.
The task set forth,
Cannot be completed.
A mission thwarted,
A battle lost.
A loss of pride
Failure has cost.
The taunts and cackles,
Loom large around me.
Always blocking the success
That I can’t seem to see.
Failure trickles like the blood
That rushes to my head.
I lie cold on the floor
Wishing I were dead.
