Strands of petals manifest in pieces
Through the partners wearing the panthers of many colours
Lying low the full negation of ejaculations
That reproduces colours of destiny lockers
In remembrance of full time jokers
Who finds fulfillment in wearing the pinching shoes
That internalise more pain than toxic pain
In the memorial of material presence
Lock smiles at the luck of enchantments
Maligning the association of compact lens
At the refinery of many crude thoughts
Rearing its ugly tail in the interest of thoughtful future
Dead Lock is our luck
In this conference of different planks
Waiting to expose the bishop of eyes lock
At the next address of toxic luck

I wrote this poem to give failure a seat at the table. Too often, we treat it like an enemy, forgetting that it’s been present at every turning point in our lives. I wrote this as a reminder that failure isn’t the opposite of success, it’s part of the process. It carries the weight, takes the fall, and still doesn’t get the credit.
