Losers Don’t Write Auto-biographies About The Pleasure Of Participating

By Shane

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

It’s not if your winning, it’s if your taking part If you try all you can, then you will win at heart What’s the point in winning if you give it all you’ve got A trophy for the memories of something that your not Well forget about your attempts, at being a machine Though you were born a loser, you still feel like a machine Well you can’t work if you broken, and you can’t try till your chosen On words placed in your mouth you are choking, ‘cos you know what it means to me Victory is not a price to pay, misery is defeat that won’t go away It’s a mystery how the loser seems to see, that winning ain’t important, when it means so much to me Written April 2nd, 2002 © on Apr 02 2002 09:50 AM PST   10 • 0
