Victory and Defeat: The Second Act

I Came Back Victorious
Having Passed..
Having Passed Through
Giving Thanks
I’m no longer the Me of the Past
I Came Back Triumphant 

I knew I had Conquered.
Because I had to Fight and Kill Pride..
And Escape It’s Narcissistic Poison.
And I knew I was a Champion
Because the People Applauded Me
Showered with Congratulatory Accolades

I guess Pride’s Fangs nicked me Once..
or Twice..
Nothing Fatal..
But All In All
I Was No Failure…

So why do I feel so Defeated ?
