Failure

The title says it all, really...

 

Failure

 

The look on my teacher’s face says it all.

The grade on the test sheet rubs it in.

A big, unforgiving, brutal F.

Feels like I’ve been driving down a road all this time

But now I’m crashing into a wall

And exploding into a billion pieces.

I’m just shattered by this.

I want to tear up the stupid test

And just throw it into the sea

Or burn it to ashes.

I come home.

My parents give me a tongue-lashing.

I’m sad and angry at myself

But I decide to work harder.

For the next test I get an A.

I rejoice.

Failure: just a traffic light on the road to success.

This is awesome! I love the last line. I should write that down and remember it. =]

so i'm reviewing!: This is really great. I absolutely love the last line, " Failure: just a traffic light on the road to success." It's got great insight, and the perspective of what I presume is a young boy is enhanced by the writing style. :) keep it up.
