Missed Cup

This golden cup 
belong to me.
I fought for it as a 
Jet Li.
The audience are to 
stand for their 
champion.
For I am a lion and a 
scorpion.
At least,seriousness 
can testify.
I am not a failure,I 
must purify.

Today, my star did 
not shine.
Today, unlucky and 
mistake are my dine.
But will it be so 
forever?
Will rain fall forever?
Days of my flying 
colours are at hand,
when I will bring 
drumming to my 
land.

It is the mind that 
sees.
The eyes are nothing 
but lees.
They are 
instruments of sight.
I looked in but saw 
no bright.
My eyes were 
present but sense 
absent,
which caused my 
failure at present.
