Oh, you heart breaking failure, why did you find me?
You were like a walk on the thorn
You came into my life like a storm
You took away the last piece of me
My pride of having been a winner
You left me there standing with my jaw dropped, a loser
But I am a fighter, so I fought
I fought and lost again
Till you pinned me down on my knees
I still fought and lost again and again and again
Till you had me doubting myself
Till you took away my self-confidence
Till you left me lying there shattered in my pool of tears
I put the lights out and shunned everybody out
I still don’t know if that was out of embarrassment or was I just tired of trying
I shut the windows, drew the curtains, blocking every ray of sunlight
Lying on the floor defeated and broken I heard a voice
It was the voice of my novels talking to me, my diary calling out my name
I got up, opened my diary and it read “Tell me everything”
Tell me everything
I picked up my pen and I wrote
I wrote till me tears stopped
I wrote till I found my answers, till I recalled every bit of my life
Till I finally put everything behind me, till I finally slept with a smile.
That morning I rose a different person, stronger and wiser
And most of all a better human being
That day I opened a new diary only to write:
“Oh, you heart breaking failure, thank you for finding me.”
And a new chapter began.
