Ito’y salitang ayaw nating marinig Pero minsan ito ang lagi nating nakakamit Defeat, sa’n ako nagkamali? Tanong sa huli habang minsan naninisi Mapait kung ito’y makamtan Walang umaasam-asam Ayaw makuha ng karamihan Kasi nga babansagan kang talunan
Pero kung ang buhay ay lagi nalang ganito Magpapakadapa ka nalang ba at di na tatayo? Susuko at di na aahon Sa latian nalang magpapakalunod? Takip-takip sa mukha, umiiyak at luluhod? Maghihintay ng tulong? Aasam ng bayani sa sariling istorya? Aasa sa iba, pero naninisi naman pala?
Defeat
Masakit marinig. Di matanggap-tanggap Minsan gusto pang umulit Baka sa susunod, iba naman ang guhit Sa palad ng kapalaran umaasa minsan Nalimutang mag-ensayo muna bago sumalang Isipin muna anong bagong stratehiya Sa buhay na akala paulit-ulit Ika nga ito ay pagsusulit Wala naman talagang defeat Basta di ka lang mag-repeat Mga maling nagawa, itama
