I am the winner, so the loser

Success defied following me, though I defeated my foe

Can anyone tell me how did I fail in this war?

I have no answer for I was just perfect

The armors I used were flawless

The arms I put-upon were great

The warriors I had were keen

I made the enemy outwore

I got her count death

I caused the foe to cry

All my efforts went in vein

My warriors ran from the field

All my arms lost its expected goal

My flawless armors tasted the bitterness

My travails and assays to tire out the foe flunked

Unaware of the reason, I looked at my enemy’s face

Oh Goodness!!! Now I knew the reason for my failure

I was fighting with myself: success and defeat both are mine
