The finishing line came alive,
the crowd was up in their seats,
cheering and dancing up a frenzy,
the winner was all they wanted to be!
Far off in the distance he still ran,
though now he had no reason to complete,
the crowd would now soon be gone,
about the loser it never really cared.
but instead he erupted in a fresh burst,
pushing towards the finish desperately,
i went upto him as he just ended the run,
'what was the point in completing now?',
He said 'many reasons kid ,but first its fun.'
'What did the winner take today?,
a finished dream , and now he is finished!
i have ran for five years and never won,
but beating myself every year i have done,
and i still have reason to run next year,
hell yeah i am taking more than him dear!'
Winner takes all , they always say,
bullshit! if you running for the prize,
but when you run for the love of the game,
losing is what keeps you alive!
