How we respond to failure
People handle failure differently.
Some deny it
Some don’t deny it, but blame it on others
Some lie down, and don’t get up
Some scurry away from failure
Some can’t handle failure
Those who deny
Never learn how to defy
Never try to climb a mountain
Because all they see is the valley
Those who shift the blame
Have no honor, have no aim
Afraid of change,
In nothing but a fit of rage
Those who don’t get up
Can get up, just won’t get up
Would rather see the sky
Than the endless moving sea
Those who scuttle,
Who scurry, who settle
See the light, bathe in it, but
Don’t rage against its dying
Those who can’t handle
Can’t seem to get a grip at all.
