The Game

You lost the game... or did you? Just a pinch of optimism will help you win, even through the absolute worst!



Within the stormy day
While staring out the window looking for a light
Appearing deep in fright
The desire comes to go numb
Just to subside the pain
And ease the agonizing tension
In order to play the game
But why…?

Searching for answers
Within the turmoil and twisters of life
Terror ensues to topple over the bridge
As one struggles to keep an inflamed mind in check…
While the tears are locked inside,
There's nowhere to hide,
And help is not on the way…

Why is everything about pain?
Wondering where the bright side is,
Searching for answers,
The twister inside the mind is ready to unleash a destructive blow…
Trying to speak her mind
Receiving a large dose of ridicule in return
Ready to blow
With a cork nearing its way out
The only thing she wants is to close her eyes
And realize that tomorrow is another day…

But it doesn't get any better…

Trying to find herself
Through transformation into the dreaded form of adulthood
The craving to become a child struggles to prevail,
But you know you need to grow up…
Balancing the maturity and wisdom with ignorance
Within a corporation and life's game
You are taken onto the battlefield
Where the fun feels like a dream
But it's actually for real
And life is grand,
Which is something the haters can't stand
Because the game consumes everyone’s souls…

So they band, and beat, and bash with a brand
With a negative vibe trying to eat the rainbow
Making it all goes sour
While she tries to be herself...
For trying to help
She gets taken for granted
For saying no
She gets abused
Even by those who are supposed to love…

Trying to find a way out
Is quite the tedious task
Rather challenging as well
But it's not so swell…

She continues to search for answers
Within the tattered heart
That needs to be sewn together with love…
Yearning for a moment to be uplifted,
Chasing the storm cloud for a moment of freedom,
The escape begins for a moment of peace…
In order be away from evil we humans like to call drama
She sheds an optimistic light to the rest
To uplift them all
Watching the haters fall
And lovers rise…
The only ones who will win in life
Are those who keep their pride
Continuing to stand tall
Before they fall
Making the world a better place
Spreading love and inspiration to all…

When the search for answers is complete,
Within the soulful mind,
The quest for life
Is never complete
Journeying onward and upward
With optimism by her side,
Knowing she has her pride,
She will always conquer life's game!
