Brief

Focused beyond belief
All I can think about
Is the silver lining in defeat
What it means
And what it stands for
Are feelings and heart pour
Headed straight toward backward
Forward into criss-cross
I've won yet I've still lost
So life has made a toss
And destiny has paid the cost
I'm entirely focused
Beyond belief
And this poem is like life
Passionately brief
