Final Frontier

Ignominy of defeat blunted by the pain

Dripping sweat camouflaged the tears

You toiled in a void, lone goal to attain

Of a victory that could alleviate your fears

Once again it was a story we had seen

Heartbreak,was it failing at the final frontier

Contemplating the finale that could have been

Doubts marched about the great warrior

Of all the times when you were put to test

In defeats wrenching, in you we saw a winner

Now you could bear not, being second best

History whispered, I'm never kind to the loser

As you sharpened the edges in oblivion

Lingering images of the past blurred

Fate brought you a chance, one in a million

As you saw, it was victory that you feared

Mind liberated, the final lap was a breeze

As tears solemnized your rise after the fall

Celebrations, not for a moment did they cease

And smiled the great writer who has scripts for all
