Failure’s kiss
It’s something that’s has grazed everyone’s lips
The kiss acts as a catalyst
And its effects are numerous
…
For some it activates the poison called doubt
It is a Class I biohazard that starts in the mind
It eats away at hopes
And corrodes dreams
It rots aspirations
And impairs faith
…
Once the poison has run its course, the result is horrifying
The victim becomes rusted husk
An empty cocoon
A shell of what they once were
For others the catalyst does the opposite
…
It strengthens conviction
