Failure

ˈfālyər

safer to be judged

safer to be judged
by these legendary deeds
than by my results

this new confidence 
is no more likely valid 
than my past mistakes

passionate success 
is the rare exception to 
impassioned failure

everybody has 
a game plan until he gets 
drop-kicked in the face

that which blocks my path
is often just a signpost
to a better path

a goal not written
is a null accomplishment
a dream unfulfilled

my admiration
is for those who try boldly
even though they fail

in the big fishbowl
even the smallest gaffe is
subject to review

the trail to failure
is efficiently blazed by
the footprints of fools

success is moving
from one failure to the next
with great confidence
