It is called 'A Failure's Truth'
A Failure's Truth by Jack Monaghan
What's the point in going on,
Were it not for my loved ones I would surely be gone.
Were it not for my loved ones I would surely be gone.
Masked behind a brave young face,
To disguise the fact that I hate this place.
To disguise the fact that I hate this place.
Great uncertainty awaits ahead,
Exacerbated now that I am filled with dread.
Exacerbated now that I am filled with dread.
What shall now ease my situation,
My fear, despair and trepidation?
My fear, despair and trepidation?
Many a folk I have wittingly goosed,
Knowing the chickens may come home to roost.
Knowing the chickens may come home to roost.
Indeed I feel guilty for having misled;
For giving false hope within what I have said.
For giving false hope within what I have said.
My loved ones the most of whom I feel I have failed,
Their faith in me no doubt greatly curtailed.
Their faith in me no doubt greatly curtailed.
Greater still I have failed myself,
My future now vague, planked upon a shelf.
My future now vague, planked upon a shelf.
Befuddled I am at this self-inflicted plight,
Feeling as a drifter does vanishing into the night.
Feeling as a drifter does vanishing into the night.
Now slumbering in a dwindling state,
Do I dare sell my soul and seal my fate?
Do I dare sell my soul and seal my fate?
Assuredly not, though a fool I may be,
Thou shalt never take my spirit from me.
Thou shalt never take my spirit from me.
To the Holy Father amidst the heavenly realms,
Of whose begotten Son sits to the right of His helm:
Of whose begotten Son sits to the right of His helm:
'What is thy will?' I ask of Ye,
'Where is the future I seek, the one lavished with glee?'
'Where is the future I seek, the one lavished with glee?'
'Will You consider these heartfelt words,
Wherein my desolation is stationed and my prospects blurred?'
Wherein my desolation is stationed and my prospects blurred?'
Regardless, I tell You, I shall linger on,
Never disregarding those I have outshone.
Never disregarding those I have outshone.
For now it is I who am the failure and the effete;
I who must be willing to concede defeat.
I who must be willing to concede defeat.
'A wasted potential' they will utter and repeat,
Though no right they have for they do not sit in my seat.
Though no right they have for they do not sit in my seat.
Yet I do not blame them for believing such a thing,
Because that is the truth, and the truth shall sting.
Because that is the truth, and the truth shall sting.
I hope you can patient with all condition with God Jack (^_^).....

Regina Priscilla
