Just in case I fail
J uggling all the scenarios around me
U nder the roof provided by my family
S ombre mornings and
T ense evenings leaving me agitated with irrational feelings
I n just the space of two weeks
N othings held me down or called me weak
C asually adjusting to the new world
A s my eyes are opened to what I have to do in time
S oon I'll be leaving home to create my own future
E very second scares me but as I've been told it's all in my mind
I need to prepare now for then
F ailing is not an option
A ll I need is right before me
I just need to grasp it to succeed
L ife is what you make it, seize your chance, take it

Ethan, a beautiful poem. Your "Just in case I fail" is what most people go through many times in their lifetime. Just by experience though, it's okay to fail if one tries their best. I've failed many times but what is important is getting up and moving forward again. The failure in life is letting a failed experience keep you afraid from trying again. Just like you said, "Failing is not an option, All I need is right before me, I just need to grasp it to succeed, Life is what you make it, seize your chance, take it". I love seeing your growth in wisdom, life and becoming!......Cabbagepatch :D
Thank you, I understand that sometimes failure happens and that we must embrace and learn from it.
Some times theres no option of faliure.. like marty and doc in back to the future... "we must succeed." Hope all is well.
Very true, when last did I see back to the future? XD
Speaking of...
Pretty intense...
Awesome work
Lovely Ethan.
As poetry is about sharing here's just a small poem which talks about what happens when you do fail - the other side of the coin so to speak:
The gift:
I fell down on the floor and I broke my ego
The shock was sharp and painful, I had to let go
The doctor came in and held my hand; take it easy
Don't try to fight, it's only you, life is funny
It'll tear you down to build you up, so gently
The fall is hard but back to start, it's a gift, see.
Hope you enjoy - but please criticise honestly - not pleasing is also part of communication, and learning.

I really enjoyed it, all the imagery ties in well and the rhyming is awesome, I'm no pro at this so my opinions might not be the best, but I really did enjoy it :D
Thanks and please please keep on writing - It's sometimes a bit lonely but it's worth it - just mining for words...
Very relatable! Embarking on this journey to create one's own future is very exciting! Life really is 'what you make it', and I hope you will make the most of yours! I know I am doing my best to make the most of mine! :) If you have time I have some poetry on my page, if you're interested :)
I will check it out
Good poem. Falling os not an option, but you can choose how you face it and you have to make a decision. You will make it happier or not :)
