Life's a game



Life is this game in which we play to win
but sometimes to win you have to fail, lose, leave or be left.
I haven't written this to hurt you
but to make a point.
You tried playing a game inside a game.
It's harder then you thought wasn't it?
I figured you out.
Called your bluff.
Made mistakes and realized then.
You were one of them.
If this hurts you, I'm sorry
but life is a game
its got its highs and lowing,
its gains and losses.
You tried to use me as your pawn
but I won't be used for your success.
Where did I get you?
Nowhere except sinking lower
while I climb higher.
Life's a game
which we play to get to the place so high.
Most people play to get the most money, the most land.
They use others for their turn.
Some play to gain false power by hurting and ruining.
Then the smallest percentage
is those who play to make the game better, funner, easier.
I don't know where you fit.
This wasn't meant to hurt or upset you.
No it was to make a point.
Tell me, did I make it?

Don't let anybody tell you who you are; don't let anyone tell you that you don't deserve what you're willing to work for.
Never give up; you\'ll never know how far you could go until you try to get to where you want to go.

oh wow. I LOVE THIS ONE! It's true. Sounds like you got hurt though :( But I'm glad you're being assertive and taking control of your life in this one. Many can relate to this one and it's depth is apparent. I love it. You're really talented :)

oh, MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE!!!
