The crown of the underdog
In the oblivion of failure
A nameless person takes your place
Your face loses a name
Your eyes too ashamed to look up
You never looked out
Now you introspect
A new idea is conceived
A dream is birthed
Another climb begins
Deserted and lost
Strength only dwells within
The summit beckons
A former defeatists has just won
Astonishment buries the dismissive
Unpredictable to the optimists
Denials from the skeptics
A name for the nameless
A faceless face now beams pride
Let the limelight enhalo a head
The crown for the underdog

Summer defeatists, it is not done,
Until there is equal dark & sun.
The Autumnal Equinox, to be specific:
Sept. 22, 1:02 pm Pacific.
