Failed Assignments

Rescinded regret if you’ve tried 
To keep going;
Baby, you get tired 
Strength tested
Passed many,
Last weight got too heavy

Destruction scintillates attention 
Pleasure peckish 
Dormant cues awaken 
Patterns persist in baking

Positivity taste bitter 
Jaded in mission
Shun adviser
Adversity,
Lifes smooth sniper
 
Character development begins to agitate; 
Positivity does not always congratulate
Retreated from progression
The world became a playground to admonish 

Humanity contains failed assignments;
Mastery of emotional regulation
Tenacity-induced assassins.
