failure

setting back
in a hole
one step forward
three steps back

never enough
always failing
cannot get up
or stay on track

when will it end
will it ever be right
will there ever be time
to receive some slack

noble endeavor failed

looking to a novel
to explain how I feel
may not be healthy
and may be unreal

but it shows the emotion
and taps the root
of what is in my heart
even if it's moot

I cry out like the
doctor who created
and then let him go-
the created's will was sated

but in the end
nothing but sadness
ruled over everyone-
no closure other than madness
