Defeat

Defeat is easy to come by.

Defeat is easy to fall victim to.

To conquer it,

To stand above,

To rise stronger from the ashes,

Requires a true mental stamina,

and optimistic spirituality.

An open mind, will get you far.

An open heart, will get you further.

The furthest you will come by,

when you open yourself to love.

Allowing yourself to risk it all,

Although nothing else can make you harder fall.

Allocating a place in your heart, giving away the key.

Altering the path you're on, a crossroad that will make or break.

Defeat will always reach you.

True mental stamina and optimistic spirituality,

an open mind, open heart and your openness to love,

won't change that eventuality.

The only question is;

will it take you down?
