personal failings

our personal failings are held inside

they show themselves when we call upon

them &

when we least expect them to rear their

ugly head---

lucky are those who have people round them

to distract from the suffering

which the self inflicts upon itself

when undergoing the regret of

personal failings,

but ironic is the fact that

to suffer is to survive &

to survive is to conquer

all those things which

would have it be otherwise,

even if one mustered them on their own,

alone.
