Denzel Maniple Everd
I have failed.
It’s not just that I feel that I have failed.
I have actually failed.
I was incompetent.
It wasn’t just a mistake either.
It was neglect.
It was laziness.
It was arrogance.
Consequences.
Repercussions.
Penalties.
I have to look them dead in the eyes.
I have to accept my faults.
I have to accept my responsibility.
I cannot further disgrace myself with cowardice,
No.
This isn’t the time for that.
Fear
Terror
Disdain
Pain
That is what I truly feel.
Courage.
Remorse.
Accountability.
Introspection.
Correction.
Repentance.
That is what I truly need.
