The Big Book of F**k Ups (strong language)

everyone’s got a chapter
in the Big Book of F*** Ups

some have more than one

but screwing up
is a precedent
a pre-requirement

for success

even if you never make it
even after every time
you’ve tried to wrestle
to the ground
what you’ve needed
or thought you needed
and ended up pinned to the mat

it’s better to take your chance
then to wait in the margins
uncommitted, untried

at least your name will be printed
in a frequently visited tome
in the library of the gods
