I Am Not a Looser

I am not a looser. For I played life to my ability’s brim. Fouled at times, but often stroked fairly. Nonetheless I did not win. Did cross limits, did obey norms, Staked everything, even not owned ones. Banked on me and myself. Well, I cannot make it. Something slipped, I don't know what, Some times flipped, but I can't figure out. In retrospective, I did not reach there The mark was way beyond me. Since then I am staying here; stagnant.
