The fear of failure

The fear of failure

Down the dark lonely road is the fear of failure in life around the corner the leeches will try to reach out to you  pull away down the dark and lonely road it’s a fear of failure of life there is no sun the birds don’t sing the bells don’t ring down the dark and lonely road there is no hope you’re mind can’t find happiness there’s always fear of failure in life and the tears in your eyes are like rain from the sky down the dark and lonely road the Smell of fear of failure is in the air when life seems so unfair that is the fear of failure in life

Hello Greg...

The greatest inventors failed 10,000 times before they got it right...

 If they quit in the failures and didn't try again we wouldn't have a lot of things we've come to appreciate and depend on...

Failure happens when we quit just before the success...

I think they lived for the HA HA moment...

Failure is a great and valuable teacher...

Great write!

Thank you for sharing...

Best wishes and blessings!

I believe we all can relate to this Greg one way or another in life and experiences.
So well written and presented to strike a chord with one and all the way a good food for thought poem should and fear will always be there but to hurdle and conquer.
Thanks for sharing and writing and I wish you well Greg.

It's always there Greg that dreaded fear in life for everyone to try and get to grips with and overcome and what it can project to so many.
Great deep poem telling how it is and hopefully conquered from time to time.
Thanks Greg and top marks and poetry kudos to you.

Greg just visiting some of your older poems and a thousand apologies for not giving full honours to your poem of sombre reflection and thoughts in life.
Full honours now given and respectfully and deservedly so.
Take care my friend and back tomorrow to read more.
And in the meantime I wish you well.
And to be honest I guess we all have these thoughts of that dreaded fear of failure but they pass and we move on to life's brighter days.

I dont know how, or why I managed to miss this until now Greg .. Bloomin so glad I found it at last though .. a terrific blend of soul searching and associated anxiety incorporated throughout and underpinning the whole page .. No need to worry though, I see you have just joined the club .. Neville
