My Final Chance

When I was seventh-grade in school
It was my childhood paradise dream
To be a chess champion in the campus
To be the best, you have to beat the best.

Every year I participate in sport events
Everyone will have a replaceable moment
Srujan is the only one who always beat me
To be the best, he won four consecutive years

For the first time, I lost in the semifinal
The next three years, I lost in the finales
Losing always hurts me the most, and
This will be my last chance after two years gap

In my era of school out of hundreds of students
My friend Srujan and I have always been the best
But now it's different I have to prove myself in college
Enough is enough; I need a striking victory.
