I'm Happy I Failed

When I look back 

and brood at my losses and gains, 

I understand now, 

I have matured;

Because every pain taught me a lesson 

to embrace failure,

and evolve into a new person.

So now I smile

And rejoice.

I faced failure and changed my choice.

The choices that made me better

than yesterday.

Today,

I speak confidently,

That I'm reluctant 

to give up 

on problems so easily.

I failed -

So I changed my course of life 

like a river,

That cuts its way 

to venture and to strive;

When it fails to flow

In one monotonous direction.

The change doesn't stop her,

It still flows with great current and determination.

I failed

So I changed 

my interests 

like a chef 

Who changes the spices

When the platter fails to suit 

The taste buds of the taster,

And creates a new magical recipe 

Which paves his way to popularity.

I failed 

So I uprooted myself 

and found a new address

I must confess 

It came with some stress

But finally brought success.

Along came new people

Some hope and dreams

A little struggle but

Happiness extreme.

These failures added 

into me 

more positivity,

Which lay embedded somewhere in

The deep dungeon

Like the lava inside the volcano -

Hot and molten.

The volcano

Finally erupted -

Nothing can knock me down 

Thankfully, I failed several times.

My zeal is my savior

So now I can celebrate and triumph 

My failure.
