I Wrote A Depressing Pantoum
“Inadequacy” You never had it in you Just to give up, rather Than to try your hardest It was too much a part of you Just to give up, rather You held onto that sickness It was too much a part of you Better not to take that risk You held onto that sickness Never knowing if you could Better not to take that risk Than to have that hope crushed Never knowing if you could It is better to fear you won't succeed Than to have that hope crushed Just to find out It is better to fear you won't succeed Than to try your hardest Just to find out You never had it in you It's quite evidently a continuation of the “Better not to have tried and to live always in hope, than to have tried and live the rest of your life in the shadow of your failure.” maxim from earlier.
