Winning/Losing

By Arika Sari

Some people will tell you that life is a game,
but believe me when I say that it is not about winning or losing.

The point of life isn’t to see who’s falling down,
who stands tall, or who is secretly bruising.

Because sometimes we lose people and things
and hopes without really choosing,
and life is a funny character that plays tricks on us that are not always amusing.

But when you change your perspective,
you’ll find your good days and bad days start fusing
because you’ll see that life’s not so black and white,
but rather an experience that can be quite confusing.

And that’s why life may be game,
but it isn’t about winning or losing.
It’s about learning and letting go,
and making the most out of the time you’re using.
