The Game of Life
I've experienced many things in my life
things went wrong things went right
I didn't grow up rich or in poverty
many people didn't treat me properly
in trouble through a trouble filled childhood
often misunderstood labelled bad more than good
was very much the black sheep of the family
never played the victim in my only known reality
I didn't know any different knew I was different
as a child went to psychology grew up
use psychology to assault
judging body language isn't difficult
if I like I sympathise if I don't I insult
labelled a simple guy easy on the eye
impulsive saying stupid so often felt the pain inside
embarrassed red faced so often embarrassed lost its taste
was always the one when there's always one
not looking for the one but the thought isn't done
people have developed envy and jealousy
when they met me they liked me but things didn't gel you see
alphas try to show dominance I stand tall
I've done that dance I've stood on my own lonesome
don't moan like some been my one and only
been popular been lonely been ganged up on and cornered
mentally tortured thwarted and fallen
got back up before more damage was done
been called dumb forever some think I'm clever
I’m like “whatever” thick skin like leather
back to the ropes had groups out to intimidate frustrate
I can cope I'll take it but I don't need the intimate mate
I can stand alone infinite,
if friends need me I'm in for it,
I've been all by myself but not become selfish,
I don't need easy shots to make myself feel best, I'm selfless,
I leave the petty to the rest, let it be in jest,
life is a gest, get out the nest and experience the quest,
experience each experience because experiences expire,
never wish it away, work retire,
don't fear what existence brings until the fat lady sings,
live life go the distance and find the finer things.
