Gracefully Broken

Gracefully Broken

There is honor in defeat
There is dignity in knowing when you have lost
There is always the realization that no matter what, you are wrong

Try as you might, you cannot hold back the storm with a sheet of paper
Strong as you think you are, you cannot keep fighting forever
Stubborn as can be, when do you know you are beaten

You give your all but are found wanting time and time again
In time you might even start to think it is you
No one could be as bad at this as you are

Even the law of averages, you should bring happiness once in a lifetime
But no, stumble after stumble you move through this thing we call life
Fighting with those around you until you can find the fight no more

Given up on and left to wallow in your failings once more
One day you will win? Life is not a fairytale and you are no Prince
Look inside and no you are worth nothing and just be

Gracefully broken as the world has always known you to be
