TheDudeWow Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 (edited) To give one's all, to have tried and failed is a nobler fate than is received by those, who through sheer luck prevailed and in themselves, deceived to feel, to no avail, that hollow victories achieve a sense of honor not made stale from the rightful victor they bereave For true success is never found in gold and trophies frail nor in the hearts content to cleave from the earned, the ascendant hail; that greatest moment of reprieve The only prize worth winning is the final breath exhaled, after blood and sweat spent to conceive a triumph, fought with tooth and nail to in one's self, at last, believe. -Victory Edited October 29, 2010 by TheDudeWow Dingbat and softwareNerd 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summer Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) I like this one, Garrett. There is a little stumbling towards the end, but the best of the terms used are prevailed, avail, hollow, victor, ascendant (I know that is polyptoton for your favorite word), reprieved and triumph. Keep it up. Edited February 4, 2011 by Summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
