Failure

Trying and failing
is like missing your
turn in a traffic
circle: you always
get another chance
to ride the circle
again, loop back around,
and take the right exit.

    I appreciate that simile. As awful as failure is, it doesn’t mean it’s over.

    Also, failures are obnoxious like traffic circles and they’re best left behind. Nice poem!
