How it feels to lose?

Thousands of times in your life you will win

Things may go as you wish as you want

But that is not how we learn to grow

No tear in the eye, no sweat on the brow

At times you will just reach too close 

And ask yourself how it feels to lose? 

The feeling my friend is harrowing insane

Its eats you so much you feel no pain

It feels as if your heart's being ripped

You cry, you wail, but the world's tight lipped

At times you will just reach too close 

And ask yourself how it feels to lose?

You think, its wrong, you think its not done

Your thoughts are just yours, like no one

Every spout of water, every gust of air

Hits your face like a bullet targeting despair

At times you will just reach too close 

And ask yourself how it feels to lose?

The world may tell you to lose no hope

Like good friends who give you friendship dope

You feel the time will put the hurt to sleep

But some wounds my friend are there to keep

At times you will just reach too close 

And ask yourself how it feels to lose?

But you know why its important to lose?
So that with every win in kitty of bounds
Your hunger for more multiplies amounts
Let only death stop this journey of endless
So get hurt, lose before you win, you blessed!!
And ask yourself how it feels to lose?
