A VICTOR VANQUISHED

I am standing in that place many die to be
and others will never reach;
the vast sea of gold,
and yet I did not anticipate victory
to be this painful.

I am right where I deserve to be,

Always wanted to be,

Worked through thick and thin just to be,
and yet I no longer want.

My eyes are clouded by unshed tears,
My chest feels so hard...
I can hardly breath.

My body is a shaking wreck.

These opposing emotions can't even let me

take in the beauty before me.

It's too late to turn back now,

Guess my calling is a sad one.
