Victorious, Defeated.

Victors write the history books,
So they can just forget my role,
I was defeated by her wondrous looks,
And I found my heart she’d stole,
I went and won the battle,
And in the end I lost the war,
I was moved around like cattle,
I’ve been here all before,
I went and faced my Waterloo,
And I came out feeling great,
And with that my confidence grew,
And they felt my ego inflate,
Victorious, Defeated,
I lost out in the end,
The bitter taste secreted,
Drove me round the bend.

Be careful of flow, Zu... there are a few lines in here that were uneven, it made it harder to read.  Still a good poem, but be careful of this in the future.

I liked this. Thought you wrote a good poem.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Very nicely done, Andrew.  This is a well written poem.  I like this a lot.
Good job.
