Just the mention of it brings me great shame
For I am someone I wish not
Brought on by the pain and anger that is a lot
I have failed us all
Time to beat myself against a wall

I have let many down
I want to just drown
I try to do better
But I just make things harder
For myself and others around
It doesn’t work, though, and I always hit the ground

Just hearing my name fills us all with grief and anger
I have become a failure and stranger
I don’t know who I am now
Someone I’d rather be with out
Someone we all wish were dead
Why hasn’t the failure brought me death?

Failure of My Name

The failure of my name
Just the mention of it brings me great shame
For I am someone I wish not
Brought on by the pain and anger that is a lot
I have failed us all
Time to beat myself against a wall

I have let many down
I want to just drown
I try to do better
But I just make things harder
For myself and others around
It doesn’t work, though, and I always hit the ground

Just hearing my name fills us all with grief and anger
I have become a failure and stranger
I don’t know who I am now
Someone I’d rather be with out
Someone we all wish were dead
Why hasn’t the failure brought me death?

Good write-
Sometimes we all feel this, I know that I have-
Find what you are good at and look into yourself for the correct choices to be who you want to be-
Others often expect too much from us and as we try to be what they want us to be we tend to loose who we truly are-
Be yourself and be true to your heart...

oh no no no no... you are so very wrong if you think that we all think of you like this. we hear your name... we think yay! our friend, our companion! no grief comes to mind. we all love you and care about you whether you want to admit it or not. you cannot deny the truth which is that you ARE cared for. you cant escape it... STALKER!!! lol... trying to lighten the mood...
luv n hugs as always,
