what?

look in front of you,
and fight,
and watch yourself lose.

Look to your side,
fight,
and watch yourself lose.

Look everywhere,
look at most victories,
and accept the defeat that they are.

Contempt and pity,
flare against each other,
both inspired by defeated enemies.

Respect and hate,
rival each other in intensity,
both aimed at superior enemies.

"don't throw that axe,
never,
that is until you start liking it"

And when to surrender?
when to lose will mean victory?
When the mirror speaks true.
