Nothing To Lose Poem by Michael Coldham Fussell

Nothing To Lose



They were right,
I was wrong.

They won,
I lost.

They succeeded,
I failed.

They were victorious,
I was defeated.

They were congratulated,
I was ignored.

They were accepted,
I was rejected.

They were honoured,
I was shamed.

They were excused,
I was blamed.

May as well read the Good News,
Now that I have nothing to lose.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
After contemplating the inequities of life rather than become mired in self-pity it occured to me that I had nothing to lose by reading biblical remedies and accounts of faith.
