For Gold And Silver Poem by M. Asim Nehal

Two friends, fiercely fighting
As if, it is the last battle of their life
Just to prove a point, who is the best
They were trained together
Same school, same teachers
Shared so many meals together
Cried on each other's shoulder
Shared pains and sorrows
Shared wins and achievements
By playing the same sport
Both got selected to represent
Same country, and as the luck would have it
Reached the finals
Emotions flowing together
Today they will fight and compete
Against each other
For a Gold and Silver medal
Today will not look into each other's eyes
They will keep their emotions in check and will fight
In this very life they never thought
That their practice sessions will come alive
I don't care who wins or who loses
But for the Gold and the Silver
Their emotions will flow again after the result
One will win and the other will lose
Something in relations forever.............
