SOOTHED BY DEFEAT

My opinion is an option
Their preferences a mandate
Our midpoint an ambiguity 
The victory tastes bitter
Only the failure feels better

I then call it an intriguing skin
They name it an awkward scene
The softer tissues on touch
An awful sensation in view
Hearing the rooster roaring 

We all deserve no contempt
By integral effort attainable 
For every purpose one intends
On the prowess one and all have
Leading all of us complacent 

Afterwards evolves serial concerns
The triumph is like a strong poison
What this conquest by me?
The defeat is a solid medicine
Why should I surrender?


I ultimately subdue their sensations 
As they intimately soothe my tissues
We share the devotion, not hostility 
We act empathic without negligence 
And the rooster keeps roaring
