Failure
By Shivam Karki
Today, let’s talk about the ones who failed.
The ones who tried
they gave their all
their soul
heart
and peace
But they still failed!
In every tale, we talk of the protagonist
In society, we talk about billionaires
The ones who earned their way up
As the audience likes to state
Their resilience
their hard work
Those sleepless nights
Those ups and downs
And they made it
Then, the audience says we should also be
Resilient
Hardworking
Beating the crap out of us
And you will definitely
WIN
But, I ask them what about those
Who failed evidently
What about them??
What about their resilience?
What about their hard work?
I ask them
If this was the secret recipe
why didn’t it work for them?
I ask them
What about the ones who tried
yet failed?
How do they come to peace even with all this?
But then I remembered
I was talking to myself
And I was just asking myself
what if it doesn’t work out as planned?
