The Art Of Failure

It seems that everytime I shoot I miss my mark

Leaving me stranded alone in the dark

I try and I try

But in the end all I can do is cry

I never fail to disapoint you and me

Disapointment with a dash of failure is a guarantee with me

Somehow while blindly aiming in the dark I have made history

I have transformed the tragedy of failure into a form of art filled with mystery

Though I always aim to please

Somehow i always end up on my knees

Begging and pleading for forgiveness

So that I may achieve happiness

But this mysterious deadly art

Keeps pushing me and my mark farther and farther apart

And once again here I am shooting blindly and hopelessy at a restlessly moving mark

Knowing that I will never know the satisfaction of sucess

Very nicely written. I can feel the emotion in it. It's funny what failure can bring though. Many people have failed throughout their lives, and ended up creating something amazing.

Poignant and very heartfelt.

It reads very cleanly – and very clearly. It has a nice feel when reading it out loud (nice work by the why on having the rhymes at the end of each sentence).
