I play a game

Over and over

It always is telling me game over

But for some reason i keep putting in quarters

I still click retry

But why

Why me

Why does my heart tell me i need

I cant beat this game

I’ll never win

Then tonight lose all i gained

I worked so hard

Just to get these quarters

Just to play this game

Just to drive me insane

Seems they always win

They never see the pain i hold within

Because i never win

I go to this game all the time

But i finally reached the next level

I figured  the next stage will calm my rage

But the next level is much harder

The game says

Game over

So i go home tonight with nothing in my hand

Not a coin in my pocket

Not a smile on my face

But i don’t understand

How does that machine take all those coins

All the money away from me

I don’t see

But now a tear down my cheek

A frown to my face

The i look down

And guess what i found

A quarter on the ground
