Life's A Game

March 7, 2019

This is how we play the game

Up down, left right

Down

SLAM

Rock bottom hits you

You have no energy left to fight back

The game isn't fair to most

The game isn't for everyone

But you hang in there

Play the cards you've been dealt

Because there's an end game to reach

One way or another
