Living Life Like Chess

TITLE- LIVING LIFE LIKE CHESS

One Monday I got bored by life’s sameness.
To have some fun I decided to do ‘LIVING LIFE LIKE CHESS’.

I spent the Tuesday like a Thorne.
He has death as his destiny from the day he born.
Whenever I tried to protect or help someone by putting something mine at stake.
He termed it as a false showing and fake.
I learnt that in today’s age helping someone is a sign of foolishness.
I got hurt like a Throne while ‘LIVING LIFE LIKE CHESS’.

I passed Wednesday like a rook.
He has everything straight in his book.
Like him I also tried to walk on a straight way.
People hurt and used me like clay.
I learnt that today’s life is not for straight forwardness.
I felt cheated while ‘LIVING LIFE LIKE CHESS’.

My Thursday got passed like the queen.
I became that confident that I never had been.
I tried to get charge of things happening around me.
I found that now no work is difficult whatever it may be.
I lived that day with new energy and boldness.
I experienced novelty while ‘LIVING LIFE LIKE CHESS’.

Friday was meant to pass like a knight.
He has short range but large amount of might.
I completed my short but pending works and started loving my short things.
I found my life flowing with new wings.
I realized that wonders can be achieved even with shortness.
Everything looked valuable while ‘LIVING LIFE LIKE CHESS’.

My Saturday got started with myself living like a bishop.
I found everybody down and myself up.
I walked on a diagonal path like it.
To attain success I used every tact present in my kit.
I found today you have to be a liar, cheat and fraud to attain success.
I got the key to success while ‘LIVING LIFE LIKE CHESS’.

At last on Sunday when I decided to live like a king.
He depends on his army to do every single thing.
But when I started depending on others losing became my ultimate fate.
I found myself losing the game of life and was about to be checkmate.
Depending on others gave me losing, depression and coward ness.
My eyes got opened while ‘LIVING LIFE LIKE CHESS’.
