$$Life IS a Game$$

Life’s no fairy-tale
Everybody’s got a story
A battle they’ve had to fight
All blood
No glory
At some point in time
We’ve all felt suicidal
Mind put on idle
I know
Why though
Get high
Then go
Not letting those feelings show

Once were older
Were too big to cry
Forced to lie
Wondering why
Too weak to try
Left alone
For our brains to fry
Night fall comes
Time for a high
Let your problems fade away
Cuz its okay
It’ll be better one day
Fall to your knees
Beg & pray
To give you the want;
The need to stay

On your pillow
Your head will lay
Tears will fall
Stained on your cheeks
Till the next day
But you’ll make it through
Some way
Some how

But you can’t wait
You need it now
Can’t just hold your head up
& wipe your brow
You’re too weak for that shit
Just pass the blunt
& take another hit
Smoke it all
Don’t you quit
Lose your mind
& get effin lit

Its easier to pop that pill
To take away
The pain you fill
Heart starts racing
But your body is still
Rage filling your body
You’re ready to kill

Kill that voice
Inside your head
That’s got you wishing
Hoping to be dead
Forget all the things she said
All the twisted things
Inside your head
Erase all the pain & lies
Your hearts been fed
Heal all the wounds
Your soul has been bled
Don’t worry about all the time
Your hearts been misled

"Just keep your head up baby girl
& I’ll wipe your tears
I’ll be the one
Ta chase away your fears

Just close your eyes
Make a wish
Turn to me
&& blow a ki$$
Take me hand
I’ll help you through this"

That’s what it feels like
To love someone
And them love you back

To have some one look at you
And see you
For whom you really are
To have someone by your side
Never too far

To not have to wish
Upon a shooting star

That’s how it feels
To have someone truly care
Someone who stayed true to their promise
To always be there

But wait a minute sweetie
Don’t fall for that shit
It’s all a lie
What you herd him spit
& you’re FOOLISH
If you believe a word a word of it

Every promise he ever made
Was defiantly broken
Tears start falling
You’re already choking
He’s still provoking
& you’re still hoping

He don’t see the real you
He don’t even care
He was never there
You’re well aware
But you look past it
"I’ll change,
I swear"
But you know he won’t
Your anger starts to flare
You’re filled with despair
Coming to the realization
That life’s not fair

No, life’s not fair
It’s just a game
It’ll never change
It’s always the same
One filled with shame
The other with pain

It’s a game of love
Filled with hate
A game one player
Chooses to create
A game to which
Most can relate
Game where no one
Can get their feelings strait

It can be easy
It can be tough
I can almost guarantee
It’s going to be rough
Ya, you can cover it with a bluff
Or take another puff
But you’re still going to be playing
You just can’t get enough

You say life’s not a game
But how’s it not
Whether you’re playing
Or someone’s playing you
There’s still a game being played
So why let it be played on you?
