Victory

They say winning isn't everything,
that it's the only thing.

They say that victory is sweet,
and nothing's worse than losing

They tell me I have to win,
that it's the only way to go.

They. They. They.
Screw them.

Winning isn't everything,
in fact, it's barely anything.

Winning means nothing
if you're not having fun.

Fun, happiness, love;
that's what it's all about.

Sure, winning is fun,
but it shouldn't be the reason to compete.

So have fun, friends,
and if you win, enjoy.
