Defeat. A sour taste in the mouth.
Defeat. Knowing you've lost.
Defeat. Where you decide to stand up.
Defeat Where you decide to stay down.
Defeat. Defeat. Defeat. Defeat.
It chases after me like a predator.
No matter how fast I run it knocks me down.
Defeat. Defeat. Defeat. Defeat.
Is this how i'm supposed to feel?
Pushed to the ground, breathless?
Is this how i'm supposed to feel?
No hands reach out to pull me up.
Defeat. How sweet it seems.
Defeat. In the end it's bitter.
Defeat. It still chases after me.
Defeat. It knocks me back down.
One event after another.
Defeat. Defeat. Defeat. Defeat.
Lost friendships and relationships.
Defeat. Defeat. Defeat. Defeat.
Is this how my life is supposed to go?
Maybe if I stay down...
Is this how i'm supposed to think?
I have to stand up....
Defeat. It's cold eyes stare into me.
Defeat. It may chase me forever.
Defeat. I stare back into his eyes.
Defeat. It disappears when I stand up.

- Comment from author about the poem: I wrote this when dealing with a breakup and dealing with the mindset of feeling like a failure. I felt like defeat was everywhere, so I hope this poem hits home.
