How many times?

How many times must I fall?
Before I can learn to do what it takes-
How many times must I crash?
Before I will learn to use these breaks?
How many times must I fall?
Before I can learn to stop failing my King-
How many times must I call?
Before I hear more than my own voice, echoing?
I'm defenseless-
It's relentless.
This Darkness is pressing down on me-
I resent this-
But I can't repent this.
When will I learn to stop failing my King?
How many times must I fall?
Before I learn to stand on two feet-
How many times must I try?
Before I can learn to overcome this defeat?
Maybe THATS my problem here-
Maybe I've been cursed.
Maybe I really CAN'T do it on my own-
Maybe I've been doomed from my birth.
Or maybe I've just been asking the wrong question...
How many times MUST I fall?
Before I will learn to accept a hand up-
How many times MUST I fall?
Before I discover I CAN'T climb this wall?
How many times MUST I fall?
Before I learn to finally get help-
How many times MUST I fall?
Before I realize I CAN'T do it all?
I don't have the answers, but...
How many times must I learn?
That every time I fall is just another chance-
How many times must I learn-
That falling's just a tumble into God's open hands.
So how many times must I fall?
As many as it takes.

| success is not the result but a process but falling is a result not a process. failure is the stepping stone for success you learn more about anything or even about you. nice write |
