DEFEAT

DEFEAT – that moment you’re beat.

The feeling of agony is how they’ve described it,
The failing at anything is how you’re prescribed it.

It is inevitable that one of these days you’ll lose,
How you handle it is based on the mindset you choose.

Some decide that DEFEAT is a sign they should quit,
So they denote, quite concrete, in their mind - this is it.

The sense of shame and humiliation is where they direct attention,
Hence the pain and devastation is there to infect apprehension.

However, others treat DEFEAT as a chance to learn,
They get back on their feet to advance their next turn.

They see DEFEAT as no reason for crying,
That failing is better than not even trying.

And giving up is not the solution,
And getting better is an evolution.

Since weakness can be turned into strength,
Shortcomings can be improved in their length.

Please understand if you only ever have wins,
You won’t know where you end and God begins.

Opt to reject the fear of DEFEAT,
Adopt the precept… it’s obsolete.

For DEFEAT is simply a signal that something’s not sound,
You need to adjust your approach allowing attempts to abound. 

DEFEAT is only a word,
Repeat what you just heard.

The experience is merely what you interpret it to be,
The gift of its resilience is clearly to set you free.

For DEFEAT should never get the best of us,
It should forever stimulate the rest of us.

And victory becomes much more sweet,
When you overcome the war on DEFEAT.
