An effort that ended in deep humiliation

An effort that ended in deep humiliation,

Is a memory that still haunts my mind.

A moment of vulnerability and weakness,

That left me feeling so unrefined.

I thought I had it all figured out,

I thought that I could do no wrong.

But in the end, I stumbled and fell,

And the pain was so very strong.

The humiliation was like a weight,

That I carried with me for so long.

It made me feel small and insignificant,

Like I didn't belong.

But with time, I learned to heal,

And to pick myself back up again.

I learned to embrace my failures,

And to turn them into strengths, my friend.

The effort may have ended in deep humiliation,

But it also taught me so much more.

It taught me to be humble and to persevere,

And to never give up, no matter what's in store.

So if you've ever felt the sting of defeat,

And the pain of humiliation too,

Just know that you are not alone, my friend,

And that there's always something new.

For every effort that ends in deep humiliation,

Is an opportunity to grow and learn.

To become a better version of ourselves,

And to emerge even stronger, with each turn.
