I am the champion of its release

I am...

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...
