We lose because we win



Life is a cesspool of depravity that no one can ever quell.
Life is miserable, an intense justification for hypocrisy
Life is unfair, the unequal privilege for every individual
Life is fury and vitriol; the pillory and shame you cannot escape

Do these words imprison your intrusive mind;
Which leads you to be entangled in every piece of your beliefs?
Do these words made you the person you want to become;
Or the person you are scared to outgrow?

Either one of those seas of excuses;
Life will never be fair and just
Life can be the reason for mourning or celebrating;
As well as having full of failure or success

But have you ever asked, what is this all about?
Why do we need to taste disgrace and humiliation?
Why do we need to fall and be defeated?
Why do we need to suffer and expiate?

The reasons that caught my peculiar mind:
We fall because we are preparing to rise
We were defeated because we are being strengthened
We lose because we are going to win
