Just Rambling.

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

In the hopes of explaining nothing for fear of nothng being accomplished, I have succeeded admirably, for my art and my life revolve around the one thing I know not how to explain. It's not that I lack the one thing, I have it and I need it, but to no avail have my attempts, and might I add in vain as well, have they ended. All too often do we as a race attempt futilely that which is inconquerable, and in a forensic display of failure induced hysteria, do we portray and selfishly forget. Now don't get me wrong. I love succeeding, but isn't failure the cornerstone for improvement, and in that sense, is the person who fails the most the most educated, and the person to which success has so eloquently layed her fingers upon, the most flawed person. Oh who knows. All I know is that I have failed just as much as I have succeeded, but that the latter is a result of the beginning.This is just something I wrote when I was in a philosophical state of mind. I do that a lot. It's just something I thought I would share with you all. I hope you enjoy, and that it induces thought. Written November 16th, 2001 © on Nov 15 2001 03:33 PM PST   0 • 9
