The Game – Nothing to Gain


 


Deprived from stability


A harsh and bitter reality


 


From dawn to dusk


You try to earn some trust


 


As sweat run down your back


Like a river in flood


 


Life keep playing this game with me


For to long tears run down my face


 


Now I will play this game


With no expectations at all


 


Nothing to gain anyways


Because...no matter how careful you are


 


When daylight come


I still have to face reality


 


The harsh and bitter reality


Of things taken for granted


 


Because vindictiveness of others


Will deprive me my sanity

Tinka I love your picture!!
This sounded very blue
and filled with pain some games bring
Thunders and rain mix with pain
Hoping you are OK and this is just
Your magnificent talented muse expressing
Feelings on a poetic writing
Wishing you Peace Love and hugsss and
A Happy Valentine's Day..Morning star

That last line is so true and I know from my own life
that there are times when I feel bitter, but somehow
I have prevailed, I think ;) It's the heart that suffers
when you feel that way, so it's good to get it out!
Take care Dear Tinka, you've a big heart, loving and kind!

"... Because vindictiveness of others
Will deprive me my sanity" I've been through this a time or two and know the sadness that evelopes ones spirit. Your beauty of heart and soul is seen by Him who counts the most. Take care of and be good to yourself.

God bless you. Kathy
