Resolution

Am no stranger to defeat, loss, pain, mockery and shame.
i walk in the midst of them all, bath in the very juice they spur, dance to every tune they air.

Am no stranger to defeat, loss, pain, mockery and shame.
Celebrate every sorrow in their names, bask in the glory of my loss to each one, familiar to every strategy, every tactics they formulate.

Am no stranger to defeat, loss, pain, mockery and shame.
Cause at the end I hold them bound, a billion losses to one victory, one victory that shakes their world, knowing I never stayed down, I never gave up, I always looked up with a cheeky smile and a wink.

Favorite line: 
gave up, I always looked up with a cheeky smile and a wink.

I liked the description:  "cheeky smile" 

Would it read better using the : I am, verses: Am... at the beginning of each stanza. Just a thought. I like how it was different. 

In the stanza below capitolizing I is what I recommend. 

(I am) Am no stranger to defeat, loss, pain, mockery and shame.
(I) walk in the midst of them all, bath in the very juice they spur, dance to every tune they air.

Thanks for sharing your poem. I cannot wait to read more.
