[hometext] => this is about how I felt after the symphonic band I'm in didn't even place (get 5th out of 10) in the State Band competition...
[bodytext] => Failure is all I am One after another They all come falling upon me On my shoulders Like the rain pouring down on me Like the tears falling down my cheeks Have you ever felt how I feel now? Like everything you've worked for has gone to waste? Like your life is at an end? Like nothing you ever do will matter now? The harder I try, the more that I lose And I can't seem to get any further in life Rain, pouring down my cheeks, my body The disappointment spreads throughout me Like a candle, fallen to the floor Soon to burn the entirety of my being There is no more fight left I won't try to put the fire out. I can't keep going on like this In this daze some would call a life The anguish of failure Is looming in my mind Bringing on the burning pain The tears I cry so often now I stare up at the gray sky Finding that it resembles my soul Gray, dull, boring Filled with failure upon failure I have nothing to live for, except her She will keep me alive, and nothing more The arms around me now tell me All I truly need is her But the pain of failure still lurks In the depths of my mind Like an assassin in a dark alley Set out to kill for my failure.
