A Sonnet on Success and Failure

Easy 'tis in failure to despair,
And fall into a state of distress.
The whole world may now seem unfair,
Making you crave a life of success.

But such a life might turn out a bore,
Leaving you little cause for delight.
To your full potential, if you want to soar,
Embrace you must both light and night.

Rest assured, you will repeatedly fail,
Just learn your lessons from each mistake.
Let not your failures go to no avail,
For life will offer you another take.

Choose you can, a success of your own,
Failure it becomes, if you're complacent.
One day you will see you have grown,
And reclaimed success by being patient.

Firm up your thoughts, your words, and your deed.
And keep striving, if what you seek is to succeed. :)
