Is it Really?

Failure is a word, a word not required.
Win, Lose, Pass or Fail,
Labels are these and not required.
Taught behaviours, learned reactions,
Also not required.
I am not a failure! You are not a failure! We are not a failure!
Learning, not failing,
Understanding, not failing,	
Accepting, not failing.
Living up to another,
Expectations high.
Loaded with resilience,
I can build it! You can build it! We can build it!
I can use it! You can use it! We can use it!
Failure is not required.
I can succeed! You can succeed! We can succeed!
I can accomplish! You can accomplish! We can accomplish!
Gain, Attain and Win.
Failure is not required.
Failure does not exist.
I do my best! You do your best! We do our best!
I cannot fail! You cannot fail! We cannot fail!
Failure does not exist,
Only EXPERIENCE gained.
Failure is not an option, Failure does not exist
Stop trying to resist,
Failure does not truly exist.
Is it really,
Truly failure?
NO,
It’s just not been done right,
YET!
