The Game Of Life

by Rowena Linley   Feb 27, 2011


I remember a time
When we were used and abused
And we fought all our battles
With to much vain and pride
This was our biggest downfall

I would sail across the ocean
I would walk a thousand miles
To see if I could make it to the end
Just to see a smile
To light up this dark miserable world

There are those that will leave you
There are those that will let you down
Is there no one out there
Who would die for you

You should live your life with a passion
And drive the dark away
Do what you love

What you put into life
You will get out

Try your best
At the things you love
And life will care of the rest

In life you get them all
Some are wise
While others are naive

Cursed by the angel that fell
And saved me from hell

Too tired to jump
Too young to run
With no where to hide
With the fallen angel at my side

Searching forever
Never ending
Chasing the dreams
Of my wild heart

Seeking, seeking
Searching for the truth
Always asking questions
With no answers to be found

He came to me
With a serpents kiss
As the sun rose in his eyes
We lay there
In a black embrace
And the seed is sown in a holy place

Unchain the colours
Before my blind eyes
Sorrow is tomorrows white lies
I shall be reborn
Out of the fire of hell

Seven deadly sins
Seven ways to win
Seven holy paths
That leads to hell
Then your trips begin

Seven angels
Seven demons
All battling for the prize
That is my unworthy soul

To hide behind a mask
To hide the real me
Full of hate, anger, hurt

The charade that is my life
The flame in my heart
The light in my eyes
That will burn you away

To live in a nightmare
Never to escape
With sorrow and tears
Never ending fears

This place is called hell
Living and dying
This is called purgatory
Hell for all eternity
This is called
The game of life

    Well, written. I agreed that there are a lot to learn in life if we'll just take one day at a time and live life to the fullest. Keep writing!!
