Defeat

"You may encounter many defeats but you mustn't be defeated" Maya Angelou.

Defeat stings deep,

it sucks to lose,

makes you want to weep,

as you reap the fruits of failure.

Your fall may be mighty,

from the peaks you rose to so highly,

but don't stay down sadly,

get up and wipe the dust of your face.

For you must move on,

and plan your next moves,

to help improve your situation,

and get back your groove.

By accepting a loss,

you allow yourself to learn,

from the mistakes made,

since you can't always be on top.

Besides it's only a temporary setback,

that can help you understand,

your situation better by,

bringing you back to earth.

It also helps you appreciate,

all the wins you had in the past,

and be content as you wait,

for another chance play.

But don't lose hope in yourself,

as every dog has its day,

and just coz you didn't excel,

doesn't mean your doomed for life.
