Losing and losing,
Until one day you win.
- and you ask yourself -
Do I want what I've won?

When you've found what you lost,
When at last you come across
That which you never thought
You'd see again.

Catch your breath -
Stop to think -
Do I want what I've won?

You think you know it,
But how little you show.
Try not to deceive
Those who want what's best for you,
Live what you believe.

So listen,
You're the only one
Who can answer this.
- Do I want what I've won?

Author's Note: After not writing for quite a long time, I felt randomly inspired and wanted something simple to come out. This was the result, a little comment on my life and others; on attaining goals and overcoming obstacles.
