Michelle Louise Kutney - Failure is Me lyrics

failure is foretold of me; not just for a time, but my destiny. failure has no friends; only puppets that have faces pretending to be. failure is only commended when what was expected has come to pa**. failure has no future in success; it only gets praise when it takes the place of my happiness. failure has been said to be my goal; and bets were laid from both family and friends. failure they have said I would be a slave to; and never be sold. only pessimists have worth and only their dreams are real. failure is my friend, and one I can say that no-one would steal. failure never turns its back on me, nor would it threaten such optimistic words as "you may succeed". failure has faith in me; because no-one else does. therefore, in that, I know I'll never be freed. failure offers compa**ion to those who fail and have tried, but not to those who have failed to try. failure may mean that for now my battle isn't won; and that all those who believed in me still total none. but so long as I believe in myself I'll always be #1. failure is a success in itself-if you alone can get back up from a fall and stand strong and say "I believe I can go forward from here." failure is a place few choose to be, although, win or lose, I know I will have to be there for me. and so, I choose to stand alone with myself and what's left of my dignity. God knows that is a place I have no-one to lead me away from. failure before me has been foretold with such surety. so many have whispered ear to ear. but no matter if I do fail or succeed; life is my career. so, if I end up a winner, then those who saw hopeless ruin for my journey in life would be covered in the very fear they have sheltered over me. failure at one time or another has been less than a goal we are eager to achieve. but if more people would give a small blessing or offer some faith to those in need. then maybe one day all the failure chained in us will all be freed.
