Defeated!

I feel defeated!
I can't soldier on.
All my strength is gone.
Here I am wandering in the losers' zone.
I've lost faith in where my hope was hinged upon.

I feel defeated!
I discern the situation I'm in.
Failure has locked me in.
As it had locked all in before, it has locked me in.
What can I do?, this is the world we are living in.

I feel defeated!
I can't hold on any longer.
My will isn't getting any stronger.
They say what doesn't kill me makes me stronger.
But I can't take it any longer.

I feel defeated!
I feel defeated, god damn! I swear I feel defeated.
What can one do when he feels defeated?
I suggest you keep on fighting till you feel undefeated.
That way, I guarantee you a feeling of being undefeated.

I felt defeated!
But now I feel victorious.
They gave me advice, that has made me vicious.
Vicious against defeat and now they are curious.
I've broken the chains of defeat and this has made my haters furious.

THE END
