Failure – A Poem

It’s me, sapphire8. Long time no poem ^^
(Hmm, this is my first poem in free verse o.O)

Inspired by the scroll that failed on my Maple bow.

Failure

And as I watch, the scroll
the scroll I spent a fortune on
the scroll I put my faith in
vanishes. My bow is the same
as it was before.

I am shocked.
What had I done to deserve this?
Why is fate so cruel to me?
But I guess
for every success there’s a failure.
Or it would be a hundred-percent
with weaker powers.

And I ponder on this
and realize: people whose scrolls work
owe people whose scrolls fail
for taking the failures for them.

I watch a stranger
put a scroll to his weapon
and it works, and I feel good
inside.
