Jo Bien Poet Free verse

Winner

the winners place in glory
standing on the dais
receiving your olive wreath

you participate in the game
repeating your mantra
mentally pushing yourself on

your opponents are skilled
hitting their stride long before you
practiced excellence

but you persevere
blinders to the completion
in your own zone

and in the end
there can only be one winner
one true champion

but you are only the loser
if you throw your hands up,
quit and walk away
