Defeat

Not a sweet word….can’t explain the feelings either. I used to play for fun, there’s nothing competitive in me. But seeing my teammates in basketball, I dreamt of getting to the championship. I believe they all have what it takes to get there. I wasn’t wrong for sure, they are really made to do it but the odds are against us….we didn’t make it! The 2nd to the last game was too much for me to take. I couldn’t sleep, I kept replaying what happened, where did we miss. But can’t do anything about it, I had to accept defeat, such ego stripping word. What a pity situation but that’s just about it. I hope next time, until next time, I’ll keep on hoping……for the taste of sweet victory.
