Invincibility
Disappointment,
discontent,
that which consumes me.
The flame is doused,
and it's all my fault.
Soul crushing,
and a pity, all the same.
Shame pulls me in,
for being so soundly defeated.
In front of everyone,
I now relinquish
my reluctant title.
I claimed invincibility,
and now I'm just me,
a worn and pained opponent
on my knees.
The comfort I recieve
is hardly deserved,
for this loss
is more than I conceived.
It seemed so easy,
yet I lost just as well.
Now, I am here,
and no victory can console
that which this defeat has stolen.
Discontent at my loss,
how easy it must have been
to have taken that hit
and wounded me beyond
even what my semblance could mend.
Disappointment at my fall,
for that was truly a loss
that even my heart could not stall.
Humiliation at the display
of which everyone was witness,
even though three were all I cared
that would not have seen.
I claimed invincibility,
and now I'm just me,
a devastated fighter
on a field of memories.
