Site of defeat

There is nothing as sweet or as 


Humbling


 as returning to a place where you tasted defeated

And coming back as a victor 


Fulfilling promises to your former self 


Taking back in retrospect the respect you deserved 


But didn't receive


As another year closes

I look toward to that which opened and what 

I managed to conquer 

What things did I become acquainted with 


What shackles were I freed from 


There is also nothing like a previous foe 

Having the belief that they can relive their previous 

Feats at your expense 


Then having to backpedal and plead for you to be what


They couldn't 

Or wouldn't be 


May we not be prey to our vices and may we delight in our achieved goals
