I held back,
I lost,
I got lost,
I was found lost.
Ouch!

I let loose,
I lost,
I got lost,
I found myself.
Wow!

In the chronic tournament of life,
The only way to win,
Is to lose first.
Amen.

Before the straightjacket feels comfortable again, I hit "publish", then, ca va sans dire, I re-edit my heart out until it is good enough.
