Victory by Antoinette Marie

Victory Without disappointment you cannot appreciate victory And it’s an ongoing fight trying not to repeat history Should I say the road I follow is the one less traveled? I know the choices I make may leave you baffled Your problems are always the worst, because they are yours So let me say I’m selfish, life’s become a bothersome chore Surrounded by people, every minute of every day Drown myself in others lives, but from mine I run away Call me a coward, call me weak, say whatever you please I can’t hear you anyway, you don’t actually speak What does that make you? It makes you no better than me You look to me for life advice, where’s your self esteem Let me turn the reflection side of this mirror towards you Then tell me if what you see is familiar, is the expression true Wipe that smile off of your face, you can’t fool a fool Your expressions are false, what you portray is untrue You are not immortal, you breath deep and cry tears So sit tight as you bleed out your own worst fears use your fears as your fuel without fear all bets are are off Your chances of winning diminish all concentration lost Drop your defenses I'm not offending I am speaking the truth The fictional character you created tricks only one and that’s you See how easy that was? No not for you to release But to manipulate you to look at you instead of me You’re a coward, you are weak, we are two of a kind Disappointment we know well, but it will soon be our time Never forget, without disappointment you can not appreciate victory Find the courage; find the strength to create your own history
