One Day

This is about everything and anything

Defeated once more,another battle lost.

I hang my weary head in shame and count the cost.

I cannot go on in the direction I'm taking.

my life fades away,this is mine,my making.

My tears sting my face,my heart is broken,

my world falls apart,after they've spoken

I count my failings on fingers and toes,

and remember the names of my long lost foes.

One day I will be king,proud and daring,

up until then,I continue without caring.

"One day I will be king, proud and daring/up until then, I continue without caring." Ugh...This is a powerful work. We are so apt to lay blame upon ourselves for the battles we lose.
