Haiku Challenge for Sept. 25: ‘Win’

Today’s haiku challenge:

Today's @baffled #HaikuChallenge: any haiku you like, as long as it has the word 'win' in it….

— baffled (@baffled) September 25, 2020

My style is the five/seven/five syllable structure. Here are my 10 haiku poems:

to win was never
going to happen; failure
the only option.

depression will win,
the chemicals are stacked in
its favor; rigged game.

depression will win,
because it makes you too tired
to mount an offense.

depression will win,
blocking out the light at the
end of the tunnel.

anxiety wins,
but also loses, straddling
both to ruin you.

you win, I’ve nothing,
and am nothing, no more to
give; now I wither.

you win; defeat is
my salvation, knowing I
at least once had you.

wind will win unseen
eroding all in its path
when the end will come.

bee wins against us,
as it sees the world five times
faster than we can.

in a foot/paw race,
lion will win, 50 miles
per hour, oh my god.
