..i PLaY GaMeS....

I play hop scotch with hearts of men.

Trying to hurt them before the hurt can begin.

i play dice with life in alleys that are all mine.

holden my breath to roll a six or a nine.

i play hide n seek with emotions

hoping they"ll never find me.

in the end they creep up behind me.

i play pick-a-boo with words that explain complicated things

dizzy from the flowers that confusion brings.

dressed in success they will never tell that i have no idea what i desire

i play balance tricks on lifes thin wire.

i run faster than the rest.

emerge from each game with my heart on my chest.

only had one player steal victory from me

he broke the rules and it has was hard to break free.

wat kind of game was that?

he always won.

i quite that game a long time ago..it stopped being fun.

now i like to play in rain drops of hope but

often get to wet from disappointment.

i think these games are hell sent.

seems u can bend the rules if u think hard enuf

but no one said the games of life wouldn't be rough.

the taste of victory must be bitter to the tongue

but at least u kno u"ve won.

im not sure if i wana play anymore i think ive danced and sang to every beat

sumtimes i cant even feel my feet.

i spin in circles trying to find a stopping point and an arm to grab on to.

lost a play mate along the way rest in peace still cant believe its tru.

sumtimes i play in his wings and peek out wen he says its safe now.

never knu how to love glad he taught me how.

nobody said the games of life wouldn't be rough

seems u can bend the rules if u think hard enuf.
