I first felt
I had failed
long before
we faded
out.
I felt
I’d failed
before
we faded
back in.
I felt
I’d failed
before
we first
failed
for real.
I felt
I’d failed
at the fore,
where we
first faced,
face first.
I felt
I’d failed
even before
the fore,
before
we first
faded in.
For years,
I’d felt
I’d failed
without facing
the fact that
I failed
to force
myself
to face
the facts
of my fears.
The facts,
which,
if fully faced,
fully inform
one fully
to transform
from fear
to freedom,
from here...
forth.
