Lost by a nose

There remains a gaping hole where there once sat a win column

Mentality parched for the familiar sensation of victory

This period of desultory transience is quite unbearable

Desire an elevation of character, an elimination of spurious behavior

So much recent experience on the south side of the ledger has caused one to over analyze

Adversity has become an overindulgent roach, the wild animal underneath the floorboards

Winning and losing, like life and death, alters people significantly

Such an acknowledgement has transformed myself into a heavy griever

It would be beneficial if the load wasn’t so unwieldy
