Radhika Gupta - Chess

When playing chess
There is music,
Not the kind you can dance to
But the steady beat of the clock

There are uncountable
Combinations
For you to get lost in
Thinking,
Like time has no end

There can only
Be one winner
Or two losers
If you win,
Do not let it get to your head
If not do not let it get to your heart

Learn from your losses
If you do not
Make mistakes
How will you learn?

The greatest is no better
Than the weakest
You might think the better
Will win but there is always a chance
There is music but not
The kind you can dance
to
