The Game of LIfe

Mama says I'm never listening

Its hard when you wake up every morning screaming

the blinds are closed, the drainer is full, the boiling water is a waste

Its such an unpleasant taste

I am doing my best

Yet I have to live the way I like

I didnt see a reason for a thermos

I dont see a reason for most

I dont want to run

I am going crazy staying close

I am poor

I spend my money so crazily

I dont know what I do here

i love people who dont love me

i love my family

I am not perfect

maybe if we communicate a different way it wouldnt be a headache

yet every time we wake its always the same

why force me to live

if you just sit back and watch me sink

Its not this dramatic

I am in a panic

I try to stand on my own

I get lost a long the way

loving people who dont love me

yet a life without love is so bleak

Please God strengthen me

I am forever sorry I am so weak

I need him with me and his kisses

sweet eternal wishes

The feel of his hands gliding over my body

like little fishes

The taste of bubblegum tongue

I love him so much

why can't he be mine

this is the game of life

i couldnt force

to leave her to be with me

i cant marry for a rebate

this is the closed to heaven

the closest to love

please find me another path

a new map

i feel it still leads me to him

yet what is this

the closest thing to heaven

i gave up forever to touch

i just loved him so much

i am the fallen angel

walking with the broken wing

please forgive me for being so weak

when i am without him the world is so bleak

when i kiss him i am touching a dream

a dream a fantasy yet i am not asleep

this is the game of life

a jumbled up poetry

it dont make no sense

i am doing my best

please Lord show mercy, forgive me

i have no ambition

i just want to walk on the beach

sunglasses and earbuds on listening to dreams within reach

why is it all so wrong

yet i can't pretend

why do i always say yes in the end

there is always mystery

in the jumbled poetry

really a fluttering butterfly

in the game of life

Wow. This poem left me speechless. This is the real work of a poet, a pouring of emotion from the heart on the page. Abstract, different unique, this is one of the best pieces I've read on here. I have a specific taste for poetry, and I enjoy the regular stuff, of course, but I LOVE this. The odd little metaphors, the passion, the rhymes, all of it. I could see this honestly being the poem that blows you up and gets everyone clambering for more, lol. Thank you so much for sharing such an inspiring piece. Never stop writing! This is so great.
