I DON'T WANT TO

"...nothing fails like a try"

By CarmenJimersonCrossPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

I DONT WANT TO TRY

anymore

trying only results in a fail.

"TO TRY"

means it remains UNDONE.

TRY means fruition is nil

TRYing

suggests there was no truth to winning.

There was no skill to put forth.

There will be no ideal

no conclusion

except

THE FAIL.

NOTHING FAILS

like a try.

TO WiN

...to do other than lose

one must SUCCEED.

SUCCESS is the only means to beating a TRY

and by succeeding

the self can become

COMPLETE.

NEVER TRY

NEVER EXTEND A WASTE OF EFFORT

Be better than a try

for no one cheers the loser.

NEVER TRY UNLESS YOU CAN WIN.

3/31
