The Game of Life

The world is all a board

 We are merely the pieces, but what is the game?

Who are we playing against?

As addicts it is often ourselves.

We all have our directions that we can move.

Often our move depends on the moves being made around us

The move before us may influence ours.

We each need a strategy of our own if we have any intentions of winning.

Everyone is who he or she chooses to be. Do you really want to be something?

You can win your game so long as you don’t give up

Don’t allow someone else’s move to change your direction

To have a goal in life is to succeed; life is a brain game just like chess

But what about check mate?  When does that time come?

Each player has one final move. When is your final move? Is it now?

You are the only one who can determine when you are done playing.

Do you want to wear the crown or have a sword in the heart? Is it life or death?

For everyone the sword does come. Will you have worn the crown first?

If you want to succeed hold your head high,

Don’t let anything pull you in the wrong direction

Don’t ever be the weak pawn, stay on your path, and stay strong

Keep moving and you will be that king or queen.
