One Can Win and Lose
By Elijah Mirene B. Alimane



Up, down, glad, and sad,

Like a roller coaster ride,

One can win and lose.




From the author:

The poem unfolds a vivid tapestry of a person's life journey, portraying the relentless ebb and flow of challenges and victories. It skillfully weaves the notion that life, akin to a roller coaster ride, navigates through peaks of elation and valleys of sorrow. This metaphor captures the essence of life's unpredictability, where we encounter the dichotomy of happiness and sadness as normal facets.

The lines resonate with the reader, highlighting the choices inherent in life – the constant interplay of winning and losing, gaining and losing friends. The poem, like a sage mentor, underscores the pivotal truth that life is an intricate teacher, ceaselessly providing lessons for personal growth and evolution into the best version of oneself.

The comment section articulates the profound impact on readers, offering enlightenment and gratitude. It becomes a source of happiness as readers discern the true meaning and value embedded in life's tapestry. Simultaneously, it evokes a sense of sadness, not as a detriment but as an acknowledgment that life encompasses both joy and hardship, fostering resilience and strength.

Ultimately, the poem invites readers to reflect on their own journeys, embracing the multifaceted nature of life and finding solace in the wisdom gained through every twist and turn.
