Badge of honour

 

Failure
Such an offensive word
A taboo
Unthinkable

We don’t like our failures hanging around
We bury them
We deny them
We pretend it never happened

Failure
A bitter pill to swallow
An acrimonious episode
Inconceivable

We don’t like our failures to define us
But define us it does
It may be harsh
Yet no one wins without losing

Failure
The starting point to winning
I for one
Wear it as a badge of honour
