Failure

Failing isn’t always your fault.

Maybe time has failed you

Maybe someone has failed you

Or maybe even the cards you were dealt have failed you.

Just remember failing because of circumstance, does not make you the failure, and even if you are,

Brush off the dirt and the shit,

Try again.

You’ll only get better from the experience.

Words of the broken poem book

For anyone interested, my short poem book Words of the broken is now available on Amazon and kindle, you can tap the link above to head straight there! (this is not an affiliate link, I just want to share an accomplishment of mine with you!)

I’ll be the first to admit that, while yes this is my first book, i wish I had changed some things (again…) after reading my copy of the real thing. A lot of these are admittedly from the blog but have been changed and there are some poems in here that you haven’t seen here! I know now what to work on for the next books! (Don’t worry, chapter 3 of Beyond the walls will be ready soon!!)

Thanks for sticking around guys, you have no idea how wonderful it is to feel like I’m a part of something, and you (you know who you are) have made me feel so good about writing and have helped me accomplish my dreams of writing. I don’t feel as embarrassed to put my feelings to paper. And that is because of the support I get here. So thank you!
