A day without Rain

Today hasn't been great.
I have yet to glean victory because I have not grown to be larger than life's lost battles.

What does success mean to you, if you can no longer afford to fail?

Until I can fall and smile, I can't say I can fly.
I fell today and I couldn't smile.
It despairs me to look at my chem grades.
The system is unforgiving. Past failures reach through time and cast their shadows on the future.
I must now work doubly hard for Review week's test, yet can I score just by wishing I will?
If only it were that easy.

To be the best that I can be, and more.
I seek to outdo myself.
So I must fall. Pain is fertiliser for human growth.
It's still hard to smile when you fall. It hurts.
I am thankful for the Enya songs. They are a source of sustanence in this episode of struggle,
in this day without rain.
