Seasons

Arrrgggg! It feels like winter now,
It’s so cold, lonely and feels strange.
I sit here thinking and wondering… How?
How my fun season unceremoniously changed.
To being confined alone to the center of my room,
With all windows sealed to shut the cold out.
It’s as loud as the dead sleeping in his tomb,
I’m gonna lose my mind; gonna go crazy no doubt,
But even if I did, I can be sure no one would find out,
I just wanna pull my hair, and let it all out with a shout.


Just only a while ago it was like summer,
My life was glowing like the sunshine.
It was full of adventure, so much action,
I felt like I was having the time of my life.
There were hugs, there were kisses,
There were bugs, there were misses,
There were friends, there were companions,
There were trends, and there were opinions.
There were challenges, there were struggles,
There were smiles, and there were giggles.


Now I engage myself with fond memories,
As I sit indoors awaiting the change of times.
So quiet now I can hear blood flowing through my arteries,
Then again I hear some ringing in my head like chimes.
I think I would need to jump outside before I go insane,
But then, the cold will make me sick again and in pain,
So I guess u have no other choice than to sit and wait,
Until this ugly season once again changes its state.
But I vow that when it comes back this time around,
I’m gonna be leaving with it wherever it’s bound.

Win or Lose

There will never be passion,
When there is no competition,
There will not be a true Champion
Where there is no able challenger
There will be no excitement,
When you keep winning all the time.


Winning puffs and makes arrogant,
But losing deflates the elephant.
Till the elephant becomes like an ant,
Hiding in holes and planning strategies,
Finding mates, learning how to survive,
And realizing what it feels like to be small,


Better deflated than exploding with a burst,
The ant now grows back into the elephant,
Only this time a much better elephant,
Who has learned what it takes to be lowly.
The winning days represent the elephant,
While the losses represents the little ant.


Sometimes you win,
Sometimes you don't.
Although winning is important,
It means nothing without losing.
For the value of winning is in losing,
And the beauty of losing is winning.


Therefore, Its not all about winning,
You could seeminly have won, but yet lost
And you could have lost, but yet won.
The true winner is he who gets better.
Whenever you win, be sure to enjoy it,
And when you lose, try to learn from it.


But know that life is not only wins or losses,
They both work together to teach us lessons.
