Games

A Poem by Shalena Taylor

Games

The trust game.
Catch me when I fall.

The love game.
Hold me in your arms.

The hate game.
Don't talk to me ever again.

The friend game.
Best Buddies for Life!

The broken heart game.
I cry myself to sleep over him.

The Popularity game.
"Well, she shops at Wal-Mart so..."

The sibling game.
Mom, he touched me!

So many games we play.
Some we win, yet others we lose.
The rules change, but the game is always the same.

The game of life will never change.
So play to win, win to play.
And don't be a sore loser.
Because the dice doesn't always roll snake eyes.
