Bored Games

[1st v:]

You believed you had everything
Everything
In check

Never would have guessed
The next move you'd make
Would be the one
That's so hard to
So hard
To accept....

Never saw it coming
But sometimes
That's what happens

When one is so
In denial
They never see
Never want to know


Just exactly
Where the truth
Is going
So now
What's your next move
Where do you go


[1st ch:]

Contemplating
Its just getting
So
So very
Complicating

Why play
Why do you continue

To play
These bored games

Can't you see
You're doing this all
To....yourself
Save yourself
For a better day
You just can't walk
Walk away

What are you waiting for
Waiting....constantly
Procrastinating
The oh...
Oh so obvious

When all that will be left
For you
Is the vision
Of one last walk with your bags
Right out
The door

[2nd v:]

You want to believe
Its not all that bad
You're not always
So sad

There's good days
But really

They're really
Just....all the same

So back
Back to the
Bored games

If you use better strategy
Maybe....perhaps
It will never recognize
The real life
Tragedy

One more time
No one's looking....

A long glance in the mirror
Gives you the chance
To see....you can really see
Staring back at you
All the painful errors

Why do so many pretend
They really
Really
Do not know
Just how long it takes
For a broken heart
To mend

But instead of getting better


Think it out
Make a good move

They panic
And race through life
Missing that one important
Letter

The one inside your soul
It gives you all the clues
All the information
You need to know

But you're so caught up
In the bored games
You feel at so many moments
You're just
Going insane

[2nd ch:]

Contemplating
Its just getting
So
So very
Complicating

Why play
Why do you continue

To play
These bored games

Can't you see
You're doing this all
To....yourself
Save yourself
For a better day
You just can't walk
Walk away

What are you waiting for
Waiting....constantly
Procrastinating
The oh
Oh so obvious

When all that will be left
For you
Is the vision
Of one last walk with your bags
Right out
The door

~ Inspired by far too many who make me wonder why they hold on to situations in their life, that are draining them , and when they blind themselves to the truth staring them right in the face.....they play their life out just like a board game.....even when they lose, they start over thinking somehow it will be different instead of ever figuring out what is wrong, and change their strategy and improve their life ....and the worst yet, those who fool themselves in to believing everything is just perfect, when it is not.....they live in denial...then eventually it all blows up in their face, leaving them saying...."What went wrong " ~
