The Never Ending Game


Every loss has a gain ( a)

Every gain has a loss (b)

The gains bring pain (a)

Like a game of lacrosse (b)

 

The prize of the game (c)

Can break us so deeply (d)

Leaving us in shame (c)

To trip us so discreetly (d)

 

O-K-A-Y (e)

Lessons of left and right (f)

Told from clouds in the sky (e)

Put up a one year fight (f)

 

Was my time really worth it? (g)

Or could I have gotten lit? (g)
