But what is up when the guard is down?

But what is up when the guard is down?
Your unsecured self?
A future defeat?

Maybe,
When the guard is down,
The end is not near but here.

In that moment when you are
Wrapped in miseries arms
And cuddled by sheer darkness
At that very god damn moment,
You, yes, you,
The one who claims to be
A warrior, fighter, dreamer, believer
Turns out to be an absolute loser.

Sigh.
