Wrong
We were taught it wrong
The difference between the position first and second
Is not the least
But the greatest of all

Hurts
It hurts to be
An almost
To be just beside
But not at the goal

Tears
It tears you apart
When people think
It's great
There's no need to be sad

Don't get
They don't get
You were almost there
But yet so far
When you did
Did the best
But you couldn't reach
What you aimed at

Chance
There was a chance to be
At the top
But the failure is that
I couldn't push it
Just a bit more

Win
It can be called a win
But it's not so for me
When that little effort not put
Cost me to fall
Into a place where
There is motivation but no
Appreciation

Problem
The problem is not that
I couldn't
The problem is that
I could but didn't
