The Oldest War

Failure isn't an option,
It's an outcome.
Failure isn't achievable,
It's expected.
Failure.
Failure is our Alma Mater.
Failure is being alive.
Alive to witness all our shortcomings.
A ticket to the shit-show that's my dreams.
Failure is NOT the end.
Failure is the acceptance of the end.
Failure is not judged by men
Failure happens to you.
It makes itself known to the Dreamer.
Failure extends an olive branch to achievement.
A sacred covenant disguised as compromise.
An untenable armistice between fuck that and try again.
Failure is insanity.
