Failure by Joanne Gill-Maddick
Failure writing prompt entry

 
 

Failure forever scared me. The words cut through one's heart like a knife. You feel unworthy and never good enough.

Inferiority sets in you feel like a loner and don't fit in.

Failure can make you crawl into a shell and make it your home.

You’re merely existing in life just going through the motions. You become fixated on failure.

Fear invades your psyche crippling you to the point of no return.You become afraid to try.

Over time I've re-evaluated failure and it's meaning. With a new outlook on life.
