Can you find self-respect in failure

Can you find self respect in failure?

Trying to be perfect is consuming
especially if you're often short of the mark
quite so

In failure to be perfect
in being unsuccessful in any thing
you can find a release
A freedom
of the stresses
that you've created
in your quest
and a grace is released
a forgiveness of oneself
that becomes a seed
in the garden
that is self respect
beautiful
wild
messy
natural
as breath
