Failed

Confronted, relentlessly, with lies
Morning, noon and night,
He changed his soul's answer sheet
And graded himself
Into the red.

E! My few poetic rays of lost sun shine tried again to hit the spot....:). Thanks for suggesting that they did! I tend to be a bit of a perfectionist, so I struggle with compliments......re-reading them like FBI agents looking for hidden criticism....lol...mmm....new concept for a poem born right there.....see? Your comments are contagious.....:D
