'Failing is all that can be done.'
Failing is all that can be done.
(Poetry by S.W/KawaiiDollDecora)
Failing is all that can be done.
What can I say that history hasn't already died over and over again to repeatedly try and tell you?
My words fail you.
They fall on deaf ears.
They're overlooked and underrated,
You tar me with the same brush as those you've hated.
There is nothing to win,
All I can do is lose.
So I lose with dignity.
I lose whilst sharing awareness.
Shining a little light on the bad,
In the hope that others aren't careless,
In the hope others don't have to endure this.
Because all that follows is sad.
For the world doesn't have to be putrid at its roots,
It doesn't have to decay with unwillingness and hatred leading the way.
It could be better,
It could be kind,
If only one could rewind time.
If only one could rewind time.
It's in the news, over and over,
Another person in power, another abuser,
Another victim blamed and labelled a loser.
Over and over the cycles repeat.
As people continue to turn the other cheek.
There is no justice.
There is just 'us'.
What we choose to do in times of despair,
And how we overcome.
I fall sometimes,
When I try to run.
But fleeing isn't the answer,
And facing it usually has a worse outcome.
I try even though I know I'm going to fail.
Because the truth is all that matters.
I won't rewrite the tale.
No matter the amount of mad hatters.
Sometimes I wish for the rabbit hole,
An escape from the truth,
But it's nothing if it's not real,
It's nothing and it's completely useless.
Delusions to pacify,
Lie after lie.
It's not worth losing your soul,
Or sensitivity to the others that cry.
Screaming out for help on deaf ears,
Punished for their hardships and tears.
The worst fight is within,
The remnants that they leave.
So we're always tied to the trauma,
We're always tied to the deceit.
I fracture again and think I deserve bad things,
When I've never really abused or wronged anyone,
Not like this.
I make mistakes, I correct them.
I get hurt and I'm left with it.
It's like there's directions for everyone,
but me whose left to it.
I don't know what the future holds and I'm bad when faced with decisions,
Because if my heart isn't wholeheartedly in it,
Then it doesn't matter what it was that I envisioned.
Without others we can't change anything,
And we can't wake anyone up.
But we can say NO to any and all abuse,
Even if it's by people who help others.
We can use our voice to speak up,
To help the silenced, overlooked and loners.
The ones who say things how they are,
Even though they get tarred with a bad brush.
We can speak up and continue to educate,
Until our last breathe, leaves our mouth.
So no there's no winning here, just a lot to overcome.
And sometimes in life, you have to face,
That failing is all that CAN be done.
Failing is all that can be done.
