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.
