MUNs are a rollercoaster
they kill me, yet fascinate
They destroy me when I don’t win,
yet capture my attention from within.
Four MUNs where I lost,
not an award,
but my hope, my dedication, my faith.
Still, I showed up,
improving bit by bit.
I did not win, like most did,
but I still showed up,
like many didn’t.
It’s the feeling I both love and hate,
every single day I hoped
“This time, I’ll feel the win,
this time, my blood, sweat, and tears will count.”
But no—
that was never the test.
It asked for much more than my best.
And still
I will show up,
until I’m due.
Because at last,
I am a stubborn soul.
