Just Once

Waiting for the day when I can say. The work is done, now I can play. Or maybe just relax. But every morning wakes up to the facts. There's not a soul who can control. What destiny will deal. For in the end we realize. What's real is really real. We hope and pray for things to come. A little luck to play the game. To not just end up feeling numb. A confession to appease the shame. Just once is not enough. When life calls your bluff. You raise the bet with all you've got. Hopefully it's worth what you bought.
