Winning Isn't Everything

It hurts just a little

But am I a fool 

To believe I am a winner

Despite the final rule


Should I move on from

Needing validation

To search 

For vindication

When it's all interpretation


So I didn't win

And it hurts just a little

Yes, I'm jealous

is that a sin


I need to find a different way

to say

I'm good enough


If not today

I'll make my mark

As a writer somehow

I can't give up

not now


I'm starting to believe

In what I can do

So I'll decide if I'm a winner

Me not you.
