Mythos & Marginalia

life notes between the lines and along the edges


You Tried

Attempts, trials, and those
once-in-a-while hits or
misses. Ideas that seemed
to go nowhere, or worse;
they sit and collect dust.
You are reminded day, after
day, after day, of the mistakes.
The duds, the clunkers, the
rough drafts, experiments
and brainwaves which never
reached the potential (or
had any at all). But you tried.
You gave it your everything,
and that alone is something.
How can we know success
if we have not experienced a
failure or two?
