Losers

Losers

Do you waver. are you shy?
When they look at you
do their eyes imply:
"We'll have to make do"?

Do you doubt your reasons,
suspect your goals,
commit self-treason
defer to trolls?

Are you always too reflective?
Are all your victories retrospective?
Do you try to do what's right
and end up being too polite?

Take heart then, don't despair!
Remember losers, everywhere,
it's within the infinite power of thought
to prove conclusively the winners are not.
