Life Is a Big Game

My brain it hurts from pressure
That builds within my head
I could probably be coarser
But then I might be dead

I try to make some happy
But am lost in the idea
It can make me feel so crappy
And fill me with nausea

I hurt from head to toe
And need some pain reliever
Sure wish that I could go
And be a good retriever

This pain that fills my body
Would make some people cry
Though some will just stare blankly
And others watch the sky

Some pain is more than physical
It builds within the mind
You can treat it with a capsule
Or even just be kind

Life is a big game
Where we don’t get out alive
And if we were the same
Then what would you contrive
