I failed as a daughter
I failed as a sister
I failed as a friend
I failed in school
I failed in my career
I failed with money
I failed at marriage
I failed in writing
Failed my dreams
But I refuse
To fail
My daughters
Motherhood
Their happiness
My success shines through their smiles
And in those moments
I forget
About failure
Your wife
She sleeps soundly
As you
Lay awake
Beside her
Phone in your hand
Messaging
Someone else
My husband
Is awake on the couch
As I
Lay alone in bed
While he
Whispers into his phone to
Someone else
Why do they always need
Someone else
The person in their bed
Is never enough
The person in their bed
Is just
A body
If he hasn’t already
He will
Use another body
Someone else
Someone else
Someone else
someone.else.
