The Friend in Need


Jump into the water,
It pushes you up;
Failure pushes you down,
For you to pull up;

For every life you see,
Countless deaths, you don't see;
Failure is nature's way,
Of showing you a new way;

Bear the sting of rejection,
To taste the sweet honey;
Rejection leads to introspection,
You know what's going awry;

Like a bird peeking into life,
Breaking the egg shell,
Break the shell of challenge,
To keep growing in life;

Without a strong challenge,
There is no desire to change;
Change in the only constant,
In the arms race of evolution;

Success is a fair weather friend,
Who gives you a good time;
Failure is the friend in need,
Who guides you at the right time.
