Inspired by this quote: “If one dream should fall and break into a thousand pieces, never be afraid to pick one of those pieces up and begin again.” -Flavia Weedn Failure is Not... By Jaden Brulotte 8/22/08 Shattered like glass, the splinters scattered like stones cast to the ocean and rubbed the wrong way, to dull its sharpness Strewn like driftwood, my dream has wilted, color faded to gray because you took it away... If I was to get lost in the shadows, the darkness of trees lingering in the limbs, the leafs like lonely soldiers crunching beneath my feet I would be forgotten, left behind like these seaweed wigs haunted toupees from the depths which could be me. But I will begin again, I will find a piece that fits in this jungle mess puzzle, my goal will be remembered treasure amongst the rubble, the ship has not sailed and I have not, have not yet, begun to fail.

Torturous Talent- 4/30/2008

Torturous Talent By Jaden Brulotte 4/30/2008 My torturous talent pushes me down into my chest, pushing NOs, pushing FAILs And can’t can’t can’ts My pen drips these salty, invisible ink -tears- these aching, painful welts I have let sit and fester on my soul telling myself there is no point Telling myself What good are you? What are you worth when you can’t value your own words? When you have no influence, no pride, no motivation? What are you worth? My torturous talent, it's been archived… I snuck it away to the vaults So I can’t look and see the big red-lettered lines *FAIL FAIL FAIL* each time *LOSE LOSE LOSE* your mind *CAN’T CAN’T CAN’T* rewind and go back to be that same… Same person, the skilled and witty, ever-so-right and meaningful metaphor -proud and pithy- for who I am supposed to be. What are you worth?
