The Game We Play

by Tim   Jun 16, 2013


It not secret, I see life as a battle.
I'd steal a baby's favourite rattle.
There is nothing that I wouldn't do,
To win the game; to get to you.

A strategic game of tic tac toe,
You either come out high or come low.
It's a part of my malevolent plan,
I am evil, but you're my biggest fan.

You want simple? They were before.
And everyday you beg me for more.
So now we'll see this through to the end,
The outcome of which, will depend.

    Again, I like the theme. Games and all. Nice.

    For this line:
    "You either come out high or come low"

    You need to to put "out" before "low". It kinda throws off the rhyme here and it will make it parallel, like the rest of the poem with the rhyme.
    Just a suggestion. :)

      :) I'm glad you mentioned that actually. The out was there initially, but I wasn't surebif it made the line too long or not... think I have a phobia of lines being irregular lengths, I should get over this. Haha.

      Thanks for the advice :)

    Life is a struggle and you penned your feelings well. I love the expression you take when you say nothing will stop you from getting to the person you want. 5/5
