Friend and Foe

Dear Failure 

Friend and foe

The shameless thief

Who with no what if 

Sneaks in in the bright of day 

And steals my zeal and joy leaving me at bay

Covered by your dark clouds I cannot see 

You toss me around like a stormy sea 

Ship wrecking my hopes and dreams 

I watch them drift away

Leaving me feeling like there's no other way

You soak me in your torrents 

Leaving me sick and distraught 

You hover over me tight 

Like dark ghosts haunting my spirit

You act so foe 

But I still call you friend for

You teach me great lessons 

Unfair sometimes but they come with reasons 

Oh failure, cold as ice

Inspite of you soon I'll rise 

Because of you I dare to try again 

And I know more I will gain and regain 

For you bring strength 

Many times a tenth 

This is to you oh friend and foe

Dear Failure, 

A person who will not give up
