A familiar memory I pass,
A fragrance drifts by, a song I hear.
A transient feeling, nothing does last.
For I have come to realize,
The present engulfs the past.
I observe the path that I tread,
Anticipating the destination,,
I veer myself off track,
Recalling every word I’ve said,
For fear pulls me back.
The end will be the same,
Have I not learnt my lesson?
But the hope always lingers,
That this time, it may be different.
It almost sounds comical
That I see the outside perfect on paper,
For I know nothing about anything now,
But will I truly know everything ever?
Yes, there is a connection,
But what does it matter?
Is that really sufficient?
When I know the outcome,
Or convinced myself I do.
Maybe it just seems so.
I do not deny anything,
As I have done before.
I am trying to accept,
As I will from now on.
I know what I want,
Yet, I’m scared to even try.
Now, I chase my dreams,
Set on another dimension,
Another plane, another view,
Yet this thought still exists,
Will it be the same?
Or will it not?

Is it better to say, "I've tried and tried, and I've failed... so I'm scared to try again" or is it better to say, "I've tried and tried... I've failed, yet I will try again until I succeed"...?
Love the title!!! lol
Aren't you supposed to learn from failure? Now you have a better idea of what you want, and when you get it, you'll be able to appreciate it that much more...
Its almost as if...as your writing this piece your thinking is evolving...interesting!
