Life Is Like A Game Poem by Silence Dogood

Life is just a game
and we are the pawns
moving space to space
but ive been played for to long
****
Im tired of living in a dream like state.
Moving across the board learning how to play.
These moves im making are not even my own.
Im tired of playing, of being all alone.

Im waiting for the end; when the game is done.
Im tired of being me I want to be someone.
my moves have been controlled for far too long.
Im tired of being played like a pawn.

Life is like a game, we have to reach the end.
And once we do we play it again.
Theres winners and losers like a real game.
And you go through it all in a weird kind of daze.
****

Life is like a game
and we are the pawns
moving space to space
but ive been played for too long
