Winning

The incomparable rush,

"Whatever it takes"

That is my mantra, simply

Winning.

Friendships come and go

But victory is an enticing mistress

And people are easily forgotten.

Winning

Consumes me.

I am a dragon,

Surrounded by my hoard

Of gold and riches, I am

Winning.

Medals tarnish

And trophies lose their glistening allure,

I am suffocating in my own skin,

But I am still

Winning.

Alone at night I drown

in a sea of gold

With no friends left to rescue me

I have lost everything by

Winning
