THE GAMBLE CALLED LIFE
Oh life
What have you
Dealt me
In this game
Called "Living"?
I can go
Nowhere I desire
Hold no hand
I choose...
I can see
No one I love
When I want to...
Yes, you do
Grant me joys
Moments I treasure
But life,
At the sunset
Of everyday
You let me
Taste the bitter...
It's the taste
Of lonely hurting!
Why, life
Have you dealt
Me these cards...?
Am I not worthy
Of uplifting
Your name
In the gamble
Of lìving?
Do I not deserve
The taste of sweetness
That you give
To so many breaths
Breathing?
Am I a pawn
In your complicated
Ways
Or am I
An accidental being
Merely existing...?
