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.
