Failure

Marcel Washington Jr

Failure

The most important thing to me is success,

Succes in myself,

My passions,

And my desires.

People can always try and bring you down,

But if you let them win, how will you find yourself?

Your true self?

I want to make many things.

Cartoons, comics, video games, and a business.

A task that will take years to accomplish. 

But how can I be excited for something when I am being brought down?

My time is now!

But my journey begins 1,000 miles away in a college I can't afford.

Why does it seem as if nothing wants me to succeed?

My mother and father: seperated, but loving.

They tell me things like:

Never give up,

Work hard,

Be patient,

Stay positive,

Believe in a higher power,

And.

We're sorry we can't do more.

I'm not upset with either of them.

But it's hard feeling afraid of failure.

Not knowing if your life was meaningless.

Then I thought, who cares?

Who says that I have to feel afraid of failure?

Failure helps you learn!

Failure helps you yearn for new goals!

Failure is what motivates you to never give up!

Failure is not an option.

It's a key.
