Glad I lost

I’m glad I lost the only battle I wanted to win.I’m glad I got humiliated, hurt and left behind.It was the kind of battle only the strongest and smartest win and,it seemed, I wasn’t strong and smart enough to win it.I hit the ground and tasted the dirt but I’m glad I lost.I cried,wailed and complained but no one seemed to care.Yes, I’m glad I lost because that was how I understood that, in the middle of the night and amidst the shadows of loneliness and despair, you must learn to drink your cup of anguish in private and in silence.No human, no angel and not even the devil can help you when you lose the battle of love.
