Failure: A Villanelle

This is something I have been thinking about for awhile. I hope it is encouraging!

Never be afraid to fail
Push through and don’t be naive
It’s giving up that makes you frail

Is there a mountain you want to scale
It is possible if you believe
Never be afraid to fail

You may think to keep yourself hale
Even the mind can be deceived
It’s giving up that makes you frail

The wall of fear is thin as a veil
It is all in what you perceive
Never be afraid to fail

To make a mistake is no cause to wail
You are on the path to achieve
Never be afraid to fail
It’s giving up that makes you frail
