Winning

One of us will be the winner, it could be you. You get the big house with its walled-in acres. You get the perfect genes and stay healthy and good-looking all your long life. You get the recognition you deserve or do not deserve but you succeed. You have the perfect family the luck, the inherited wealth. Then again you may be just good at being you, and you made it because you worked hard to win and you did. I have no envy. I should like to try being you, but for now being me is not so much a loss. I am not convinced that winning is winning, or to lose is to lose. Nevertheless, one of us is winning, it could be you.
