Pyrrhic Victory

an epic win

but a heavy toll

for an end

from a means

that scars your soul

a pyrrhic victory

is a costly goal

so would you still want it?

if it cost you everything?

would it still mean it?

if it changed your insides?

to win

to lose

to be true 

to remain whole. . .

      can mean so many things

       can come in so many forms

to win is not always victory
to lose is not always the end of you

Win or lose, the results sill change you. It all turns to which change you can accept.

Hmm. I can't disagree with that.

I can't believe I misspelled still. I will blame it on the Ramones' song that was playing.

Don't fret. Mistakes, even the silly ones, are universal from time to time. I know enough about you to know you're much better than a typo.

I have no idea what Pyrrhic means ... and I am just to tired to look it up !!! hope your week is as interesting as you X

When you've won, but at a greater cost than the victory was worth.... you have yourself a pyrrhic victory.

ahhh I think I may have had one of those just yesterday ... I could have let it go ... but tell me where would the fun have been then ?

Thanks for the one thing I learnt today XXX

Letting go is always the right thing to do. But, as you alluded to, that's f*****g boring.

I can count on one hand how many people I find it worthwhile to honestly share myself with. The rest is just "whatever".

I'd rather start things on fire in the vast majority of situations I find myself in. The world I live in is usually kinda stupid.

(which makes any victory for me kinda hollow and/or superficial)
