Summary: This is just a short poem that is based on one of my personal experiences. It really doesn't have anything to do with Harry Potter, but I just thought it fit some of the themes in the story. Please read and review!!!!

Failure:

These words that feel like glass

Being scraped against my skin.

Like a darkness that is rapidly engulfing

All light that is known to me.

This pain that leaves me feeling

As if my soul has been torn away from me.

What is this thing that leaves me cold inside?

What is this thing that leaves me feeling

As if my heart has turned to stone?

Why can I not think of a word to describe this horrible

Thing that is tearing me inside out?

I sit here and ponder

And then suddenly the knowledge hits me like a hammer.

I know the name of this pain that is making me miserable.

It is the feeling of failure.

Of gut-wrenching sadness.

I have failed,

And my life will never be the same. [pic]
