You are running
right up my alley
picking a fight
I have fought before

it's that ageless
battle, that I
always win
while I lose

another piece
of myself

in the end
I could probably claim
victory, even as I felt
the loss

I will leave my essence
this time, at your door
as I win without winning
and your loss, becomes
noones gain

Very interesting. It seems like there is a story behind this somewhere.

Good work,

Lots to be said for this....

victory, even as I felt

So true,  we can choose to win,
I think that's half the battle.

Nice work Jason~
