I try again anyway

Each day I sit in disgrace

Obsessing over each failure.

Defining myself with what I lost

Until it breaks me.

Then I pick at the pieces.

Wondering what it would be like to be whole.

What life would be like to stop obsessing with failure;

To live with the courage to try once more.

So each day,

When I go wrong,

I look at the catastrophe it could have been.

And take it as a lesson

On what to avoid,

Next time.
