Defeated

Defeated

-17 March 2003-

I admit defeat, today.

I cannot win this.

I cannot go on.

I admit defeat, today.

I admit defeat tomorrow.

I admit defeat.

And yet, I will go on.

And yet, I will go more.

And yet, I will keep up.

And with defeat

So shall I prosper.

And with defeat

So shall I work more.

And with defeat

I will start over

A clean slate,

oh how I wish.
