Coming Back Stronger...

A chess game that changed my life

Coming Back Stronger...

I got selected into a chess competition at a school,

Making my talent better, like a screw fixed by a tool,

I played, played there but I kept losing,

Speechlessly, don't know what pieces I am choosing.

The opponents were good, at last 2 by 6 points,

How much it disappoints,

4th position, got a small trophy,

My parents were normal,

I didn't felt so holy,

Yet there was one person who guided, a friend.

She helped me, comforted me, made me smile,

Played with me, putting a piece tile by tile,

I had another competition at one of the best schools,

Only one chance there,

I needed to win, I couldn't bear.

I played for restless nights,

For a trophy so bright,

In the school, I played with no mercy,

I got 2 out of 3!

3th position it was, got a trophy and medal,

My dream was to now put my foot on the pedal,

And ride through the challenges, to reach the beginning of a wonderland,

Called Chess,

I did my best,

How happy I was!
