  2. Today I failed a test. Ok, I didn’t fail but I got a 72. I don’t know what happened. This will NEVER happen again. I’m not like this. I’m a straight A student. I’ll show them.

  3. Failure is something that can strike fear into one’s heart, something we strive to avoid. Once one notices that they weren’t only nearing failure but have completely failed is can wreck their confidence. Their determination, will and love for something can be destroyed within seconds of hearing this word.

  4. Ouch, failed hurts like my existence means nothing, goes to the heart to rest there and whisper sweet nothings.
    Going deep down there is a sore space. Who told me I wasn’t good enough? I can’t remember, a hundred adult looks of well meaning disapproval find their mark. I can’t remember who I only remember your face who I loved the most, and that perhaps you didn’t want me there. Then you disappeared one day like vapour, a father walking away, leaving a child to repair herself. I have not failed, it was you all along, and you let me believe it was me.

  5. I didn’t fail, you did.

  6. I really hate it when people say EPIC FAIL!!!!1!!!1/!!1!!
    I really just want to hit them
    more because they used epic than fail but whatever

  7. at this point in my life, i don’t think i can truly use that word in the past tense. so far, i have succeeded. what i am terrified of, however, is using this word in the present, whether in hindsight and in the past tense, or in the present tense whilst observing my shortcomings. this is what this word makes me think of how i cannot fail, and i will not fail.

  8. Ouch, I didn’t expect that one. I was hoping for something inspirational or exciting to write about. Failure hurts, it is ashaming, and really just not a great experience. But from every experience we have, even failed ones, we can learn and grow and become better. Generally some of the best lessons in life are experienced through failure, because we can truly discover ourselves in such experiences. Yay?

  9. like nothing’s worth it anymore. people see it differently. sometime’s you see it and it makes you strive harder. For the weaker ones it makes you want to fall into a deep hole of nothing and never come out. When I see this word it makes my stomach turns to knots.

  10. The red light flashed in a way that could only be described as loud, just like the blaring of the alarm coming from the speakers above her head. She knew, the moment she tripped on the wire, that she was done for; despite years of training, despite careful planning and an amazing team, her mission had failed; so much for the IMF…

  11. I had failed. For the first time in my life I felt totally helpless and belittled. I blankly stared at the red ink stain on top of the page. I had failed.

  12. loser, big fat F, Boohoo, test, exams, driving lest, Red, Sad, Tears, Cry, Sigh, Groan, Uh-Oh! Damn it! When you fall off the horse, you gotta get right back on! Never give up! God loves a trier! Better luck next time!

  13. the day i failed the test my mind went blank. There were no feelings inside no emotions in the words that strayed on the test page. I knew I would never makie it. I never make it in anything I do or try. I fail all the time. Its the one thing I’m good at.

  15. Epic, i don’t know this sucks
    tests? bananas? spatula
    failures tend to fail when they are being epically failfull. Insecure people fail because that is the way life is. My brain is slow so I failed. In life. This is really annoying in my life
    BOLLOCKS
    I am failing at this

  16. I have failed. No classes this year. Just myself and friends. I do not like to fail but it can happen sometimes. Once in awhile more than others. Man, forget failing. Failure is disgraceful to thyself. Not just me, but all of humanity has failed. We see the future and yet we keep our same damn ways.

  17. to not successfully complete something you started
    didn’t pass a test
    didn’t finish a task in time
    to not get a passing grade

  18. The plan failed. There wasnt much of a chance that it would work anyway, but now that small bit of hope was gone. The inevitability of disaster sat on his chest like a wet, heavy stone, making breathing a conscious and unwelcome effort.

  19. SOMEONE WHO HAS NEVER ACCOMPLISHED ANYTHING IN THEIR LIVES IS A FAILURE. BUT AS LONG AS THEY TRY THEY HAVE ACCOMPLISHED SOMETHING SO FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION TO THOSE WHO TRY. IF YOU ARE A FAILURE, YOU JUST HAVEN’T TRIED HARD ENOUGH YET.

  20. I failed in coming here everyday. Why, you may ask. It is because I failed to remember to come on here everyday. Well that’s what you get, with a brain that can’t remember everything. Well see ya…..

  22. He put his hand on the chain-link fence. Crowds of people were led away from the city at gunpoint… No doubt their bodies would litter the river hours from now. Behind him the wails of the infected rose from the burning metropolis. He had failed at escaping.. His new task was to survive.

  23. no. no. I don’t want to fail no no no why? I tried. I tried really hard. please don’t tell me… did I not try hard enough? what do you want from me? you ask too much. I’m not enough for you for this please please no let me try again! second chance? oh…

  24. The failed attempt to leave, to rethink his place in the dirty snow cosmos, left Jensen mute. The two staring faces, one attached to a nude body, had no effect on him for the first few moments, then he began to formulate a plan, a new universe of action for his future.

  25. I failed my senior second semester. Talk about failing at life. All I had to do was a slightly bigger project. I ignored it, so now all the employers that I see are going to ignore me.

  26. What an awful word. What is failure? Is it being tired of doing the same thing over and over? Is happiness success and is unhappiness failure? Sometimes I wonder…

  27. Everyone has failed at something, even when you think you got it right you must try again, and learn that we are still attempting to learn more and more about this weird place we call world. We need to fail. It is one of the sour taste requirements that make our lifes worthwhile living.

  28. Today I failed at keeping my feelings to myself, and blurted to my lover that I wish I didn’t love, but do, and said anyway how much my heart aches to see him. Why is it that my heart take

  29. Never in my life.. not. You HAVE to fail to succeed; no way around it. The more mistakes, the more you’ve learned. However, you can very well learn vicariously. BUT, personal progression is the direct result of chance and risk.

  30. If you’ve never failed, you’ve never tried. Failure is a part of life. Even the greatest have failed.

  31. I think I have completely failed in life. I’m here at home on a Friday afternoon. I haven’t been able to find a job. I dropped out of college after high school, although I am enrolled and I am one class away from my Associates. I don’t have a nice car. My fiancee pays for everything. I wish I could give him everything that he provides for me.

  32. Sometime I feel like I did a good thing. I’m proud, successful, and capable. But none of that really matters because no one else cared.

  33. Once upon a time, I failed. Badly. I thought that I was going to be so good at climbing that mountain, I’ve done it so many times, but this time was different. He was different. We were to be married, I had never felt this way before!! He hadn’t either, but…I blew it. I said things I didn’t mean. I love him!

  34. failed. failure. down. down and out. OR! (Carl odfalk teehee) or failed means a lesson!–i failed; therefore i know how not to do something. successful people don’t take failures personally.

  35. Damn. Foiled again.

    Though every cartoon villain had uttered those words again, and therefore should sound silly to me as I said it, I found that the phrase perfectly fitted the situation: The pie I had been so carefully baking all day in replacement for the birthday cake that had been ruined early was gone, and there were only fifteen minutes left before the party started.

  36. I have failed, plenty of times. Especially with my writing, failed to be published had my manuscript rejected. Yet still I try, failure is not bad if we use it as a means of learning.

  37. I’ve failed.

    Cieera watched the skyship float into the heavens, watched Pike’s form on the deck fade from view, and she knew that she was too weak to do what needed to be done. She hadn’t been able to carry through with the plan.

    I’ve failed.

  38. I don’t like this word. Of course, I have failed a lot in my life and all that cliche stuff saying how it is good to fail is pretty lame. Failing just happens and then we move on, I don’t always learn from it. But whatever, this is hard to write about. I am “failing” to say anything smart, but who cares because I get another word tomorrow right?

  39. A cold, hard, red, F on the top of a paper. That sick, sinking feeling in your stomach that sometimes results in harsh determination, but more often, a feeling of crashing waves over your chest and into your soul. A shout, a dissapointed glance in your direction, a slight shake of the head, and and almost impalpable sigh.

  40. I failed. Big time. Wait, I don’t even know what I’m typing. Actually, I’m sure I failed at least once in life. I just don’t really remember too much when I try. Oh well, no time for regrets.
