Heavy Burdon
In spite of the events
The gold medal still unclaimed
Olympians get the bronze and silver
I just get the pain
The challenges are of physical strength
Where ours are just of patience
Those battles lost are forgotten
Or saved for reservations
Until the time of crowning begins
The moment we all waited for
The winner stands proud and tall
Loser left , head down to the floor
And yet no surprise
My tail between my thighs
Concede with nothing won
The hurt , it weighs a ton
