Victory's Joke

I must accept, that I have lost.

Mind and body cold, like frost.

Why do I try, When I know I can't succeed?

Go another day, without feed.

Tired I am, but I get no sleep.

I'm haunted by nightmares, that like to creep.

Creep they do even when I'm awake,

Please go away for goodness sake.

I see a light at the end of the tunnel,

What could it be?

It is victory, and victory is  laughing at me.
