Game
I see my life like a poker game,
Wondering why I can never draw the right card.

Forever loosing each bet till I've got nuthin left.
Each card going backwards instead of forwards.

Why can't I ever win a game?
Why do I keep loosing, it's starting to get lame.

Feeling like giving up, tired of being a fighter.
Trying to stand up straight but I'm getting tired.

Coins start being played with, clashing into each other like tidal waves.
Each wave I'm starting out with less.

Feel like this whole thing is nuthin but a mess.
Each card pulled out like a gun tossed into a fame.

Bent and frayed I'm wondering why each round feels the same.
I keep playing hoping for something better.

Am I a loser for trying?
Or a loser if I start quitting?

I tried didn't I?
Wheres the shame in letting go of this game?
