Bad Hand

the date i can't remember
i was alone
that's all that mattered
it was also cold
my stomach hurts it will go away
i cannot comfort myself anymore
i need some help to sleep
fate has dealt me a bad hand
but i will play it and win
i always do
i take pride in what i do
for i know that i am great
but pain is all i have to thank
