The Neverending Book - 31. Failure III

Failure III

You want to cry.

You want to die.

You don't even want to try.

You don't even know why.

But, to say you don't, is a lie.

You tried and tried but are still tied.

The road looks narrow.

It feels so wide.

You can't keep going.

The winds keep blowing.

You try to keep walking.

But, something is stalking.

In you mind, you hear so much talking.

You fell down.

And, now you frown.

The gusts blew away your crown.

You feel the tears stream down your face.

You try to heal, but, go no place.

It is getting worse.

This deepening curse keeps you going in reverse.

Even though you rehearse,

It steals all of you money.

You have an empty purse.

It took everything.

You have nothing.

But, there is still something.

There is one last thing.

There is a way to be okay.

This is your only hope.

Your heart can save you,

And, pull you up with it's rope.

Don't give up just yet,

Or, you will only regret.

Trust your heart from the start.

And, you will never be torn apart.
