Survivor Of Failure. Poem by Safiyyah Manjra

Being at the top for a long period of time,
Can actually make you forget what it was like to once fall.
Brings back memories which seemed impossible to recall.

It makes you forget you once had experienced failure.
Or had difficulties which you learnt to conquer.

You cry tears which cut deep and make you suffer,
This suffering last longer.

It is most difficult to experience and overcome pain,
Especially when it approaches unexpectedly and leaves you drenched in acid rain.

I can't remember the last time I cried two hours in the bathroom,
Group work was the cause but it was for me to bloom.

Instead it broke me, took 4% of my total grade,
Left me devastated.

With puffy red eyes,
Sobering in the bathroom releasing sounds of cries.
With tissues in hand drying those teary eyes.

With swollen red nose and swollen lips,
Others forcing you take those poisonous sips.

Never have I met another,
Who was so allergic to tears of disaster.

I like to call my aftermath of tears,
Allergic affairs.

For if there wasn't an anti-failure taken in,
I'd be 6ft therein.

Here's to all the survivors,
Of oncoming painfully experienced disasters.
