Ruins will fall

by Matthew Hoffman, staff reporter

Opening the curtains, expecting a sunrise is the fresh start of a new day.

Although seeing a rain shower could also be a refreshing start.

There will be times when people ask me, “Matthew, why you actin’ so cray cray?”

But the truth is that there is nothing crazy about the inspiration that forms art.

It’s really sad that a lot of people see failure as a huge dilemma,

But in actuality, failure is really a crutch that helps you find success.

Keep in mind failure is one of those things that just end up on your agenda.

At this point in time, failing at something is expected, so please don’t stress.

There have been many situations that have helped me become who I am,

I’ve fallen consecutive times, whether it’s been miniscule or large.

Though I’ve always gotten back up, and went back at it like, “What’s up fam.”

I keep trying, trying, and hoping for the best and eventually, I’m in charge.

Failure comes and goes frequently, but there are reasons, keep that in mind.

Just continue on with your hopes and dreams, they will all be set in place.

At first all these thoughts may be a bit hard to find,

Overall failure is not an option, so don’t run from it, what you must do is chase.

Chase the combination of triumphant and defeat that bind,

Now make sure you strike it head-on and look towards it face to face.
