There’s something to be said for losing with grace.  For accepting that defeat without making an ass out of yourself.  At least, in countries with leaders who are serious people, there is.  Here in America, we don’t have that.  So we don’t get to experience losing with grace.  We get to experience a LONG, SLOOOOOWWW destruction of the global economy, all while Trump is trying desperately to hold…

Reflect on Defeat

Stillness Of One’s Mind

Pure Of Heart And Soul

Resilient And Strong

A Lone Pebble Alters Fate

Warriors Fall, Birthed Anew

Observe The Coming Future

Rising From The Depths

Gasping For New Life

But the thought of you leaving is one of my deepest fears

Defeat is the addiction that’s always kept me high

Like on powdered substance on a spoon, I snort up every moment, like the hellos and goodbyes

I feel so wooden, watching pictures through a screen

If I had an axe, I chop down all indications of my REM dreams

Clear the table because everything you brought was always dry

Not even champagne could mask how all your intentions were fables that cloaked lies

There is not enough oxygen for both of us to keep our heads clear

Now that my once confidant is a threat, taking you out is the only way to repent for my sins.

Draw your sword, I’ll grab my bow because weapons is now the only language we speak.

Loving you was hard, losing you was harder, so destroying you will grant me the peace I seek.

I didn’t want to inflict emotional harm, but you left me no choice to attack .
