I have failed to make a dent in the world
My accident of birth in not a failure
The miracle lies in my lack of success

While others try to keep me locked up
In a jail cell sentenced to absurdity
My maker will create my rainbow

In a smile that hides tears my heart breaks
My prayers seek out a blessing
A void is what I feel sentenced to

I have failed, yet succeeded
For those that have given up on me
Will rise again to denounce me

And as my sad smile gains strength
My army will blossom in hope
That this lonely one can reach a heaven
On this piece of earth

And in friends that believe in fairy tales
My world will claim me
As a person worth believing in
That God let stay here
While some more worthy were taken away

So my path lies in your eyes
Saying a prayer to humanity
And the peace that can come over
The minds of all his children

So if I fail send me hand to steady me
While I stumble forward
To my destiny in Gods time

Oh ... there is no 'failure' in poetry thoughts as profound as this~

'And in friends that believe in fairy tales
My world will claim me
As a person worth believing in'

I believe~

I really enjoyed your poem, especially what you said about the army of hope.
If we aren't prepared how can we possibly fight the battle!!

Nice work~
