Defeat

Limit pushed to the balance beam A limit point that is not as it seems Figuratively missing the true meaning Limit pushed to the balance beam An act with more pressure to stick A life that is a limit point that is as it seems With more expectations than belief Limited pushing of our own balance beam Minds decision that is weighed Right and Left vision with a judgement day Daily testing the mental lapse Where feeling defeated leaves a heart filled with gaps Tearing a person from limb to limb Feeling defeated as an excuse to giving in Never a thought that falters to escape The minds ability to overcome in a positive way To turn around a frown that once was upside down A fleeting moments thought that flicks by To remind oneself how to still smile Though the feeling lingers all the while Limit that was pushed to balance on the beam An exercise of truth to lies within the recess of mind That extends to reach far beneath any true defeat Mentally figuring that a mind is never complete
