Failures Of The Past (A poetry duet by The_Poetic_Membrane & Damilare_Mapper)

1 minute

I looked ahead of time

and saw my failures and lies;

I looked behind my past

and saw many reasons to cry.

Life is a seed to grow and sow

on this platter of either Gold or Coal;

whatever luck brings, I was told, is certain

even if it lurks behind my curtain.

I realized I was the seed to sow

and life was the soil to grow;

I saw the reality of life in strife

after being haunted as I strived.

I kept my hopes up high in stance

and watched my take on chance;

I swore an oath to never say die,

Even if it meant sacrificing my entire life

It didn’t matter how much time wasted in the past

Nor the terrible dream I had of the future

What mattered most was my personal resolve

Backed up by faith and belief; it could never dissolve

The road is rough but I’ve already grown tough

Blockades await me; Enemies still hate me

Life will never go easy and I’ve learnt that reality completely

So no matter the surprise; my only focus is victory

Love me or hate me;

Even try to underrate me

or try to underestimate me

But certainly it’s a certainty

that failure isn’t part of my destiny

The past was only a step to see

A future filled with opportunities

So I say with all confidence

The future is filled with happiness

No matter how grave the consequence
