PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

The day I finally tasted defeat

It was surely bittersweet

I lost to myself, the one person I can't ever defeat

Neurological damage will forever affect my health

Life experience gives us true knowledge

Knowledge is undeniable wealth

After years of living rundown, I surrendered

I refiled for, soon was back on SSDI.

I surrendered in a way,

I was on my way to getting back on my feet

The day I finally tasted defeat

It was surely bittersweet.
