Playing the Game

You want to play games,
Lets play then,
How many people have you used,
And it hurt them to,

Soon your time will come,
Then we will see,
Who will get played,
I won't judge you,

Just give you a taste,
of your own medecine,
How about growing up,
Anytime at all today,

You must not have feelings,
Or a heart,
To act as if you can rip someone apart,
You don't have to be here,

For what comes along,
But it's my given right,
If I want to mess you up,
I'm doing my part,

Taking care of my own,
Your the one,
Missing out,
On what is to come,

Just walk away,
As if it's no big deal,
But it's all good,
I'm just keeping it real,

One day my child,
Will find out for themselves,
How worthless and useless,
You really are,

Keep your money,
I'm doing just fine,
Use it for another woman,
You can play with her all the time,

I'm tired of your lies,
And your pathetic self,
It's time for me to move on,
And get me a sophisticated man,

Upper class,
Maybe some don't care,
What you do to them,
But i'm a totally different chick,

That you won't ever come close to again,
As I say,
Enjoy your life,

Live it how you want to,
For someone else,
To see what you have done....

Wow! An emotionally charged piece that is defiant in tone of truly "knowing in your heart" you are "being played" and equally just as "knowing" that you are deserving of so much better. I feel the power of your words in the realization that you are worthy and have value...I was smiling and cheering :-). The lines "But I'm a totally different chick," "That you won't ever come close to again" is a great affirmation to oneself. Terrific writing with courage, A pleasure to read blessings, lynn
