With reckless abandon,
I threw away my most important things
Without a thought.
Now, with a clearer head,
I can no longer function as I need;
I'm lesser now.
But, since time flows onward,
I cannot return to a greener past;
They can't come back.
I shoulder my failure.
I'll endure, and hopefully with hard work,
I will get through.

I wish I could say I have failed all my life
I wish I could say that I’ve lost
I wish I faced perils, obstacles and strife
I wish my dreams were a sunk costBecause through the failure I’d learn
Each loss is a step towards winning
Through the perils are victories I earn
From the cost would spring a new beginningInstead I left my life to waste
Sitting idle without any traction
Instead of loving life I’ve been chaste
My only failure is my inactionIs it to late to advance? I don’t know.
But forward to greatness or folly I go.
