Where do I go from here?
Do I deserve this winning cup?
I’m champion of the hour,
But what happens when that hour’s up?

I’ve got the glory now,
But how long will it last?
I’m champion of the hour,
What happens when the final spell’s cast?

‘Friends’ of mine gather close around,
Will they remain when my fame’s gone?
I’m champion of the hour,
What happens when the sword’s drawn?

My hour’s almost up,
Now we’ll see what course it has ran,
I was champion of the hour,
I don’t want to be that champion again.

"No one holds command over me.
No man.
No god.
No prince."

Kosetsu!  'S been a while man, either it's been me away or you away, I'm not sure (I've been away.     hehe).
Well I must say to this poem, good work but I think "ran" should be "run" in that context.  You could rhyme it really niftily with "begun" if you like.  
Nice work as usual!  You're one of the names I've missed since I left.

Hmm..yeah, I didn't like the ran either. But I needed something to finish it and was too tired to think *wrote that at 4:00am after 27 hours of no sleep* We've both been away for a while then, cuz I took an unannounced break to think some crap out.

Sorting out of crap is always good. It's good to see you writing again, though.  

I love the way it finished. It's so simple but so dramatic at the same time.

Very cool piece.

VERY well done on this one. I liked it so much!

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

i know what you mean..believe me i do.. and you put it very perceptively in words..being a champion on other people's eyes, and when 'elation' deflates..and ask yourself 'why', when the 'hour is up'..

excellent..keep up putting your thoughts on paper like this..

This was awesome, I really enjoy reading your poetry. Until your next one.

Give her two red roses, each with a note. The first note says "For the woman I love" and the second, "For my best friend."
