### Failure The bitter taste of bile How can I swallow? Its sourness burns my tongue Certain to destroy my insides  [Pixabay](https://pixabay.com/en/metaphor-falling-down-failure-dry-stress-1209691/) I wonder which is the hardest pill to swallow The reality of my inadequacy Or the fool's thoughts of being more More than mediocre Fallen, I have Fallen, I am How can I dare to walk amongst kings When the servants' place I cannot fill? Yet I cannot silence this raging storm inside of me Bidding me to get up To hold my head up high This voice Screaming that this be only the beginning Not the end They say a man be not failure because he falls But only because, He remains fallen 'A certain way it won't work One path not to thread, the next' This be what the voice tells me Trial and error? Is this all it is? Yet. How can I dare to hope? To try again? And risk falling once more What kind of man be he That falleth a thousand times?  [Pixabay](https://pixabay.com/en/chain-broken-broken-chain-link-break-wea-1623322/) I hear it again... The voice, louder this time 'A man is not made by how many times he falls But by how many times, he rises' How can a story be great? If it be tales of a man who never failed? >How it works. For those who are just finding out, this contest is quite simple. Every week a post would be dropped containing the theme of the contest. Participants are to come up with a poem or a short story/prose using this theme. Then during the show, contestants are to introduce themselves, tell us what the theme means to them and share your entry on voice.  ## join the discord server https://discord.gg/6sw5WSF
