I don’t want to play anymore.

This isn’t any fun.

It’s all heartaches and teardrops.

I quit this game! I’m done.

 

I hear laughter in the distance.

How i wish that it was near.

That it were my truly loved ones.

The ones that i hold dear.

 

But now I’m wrapped up in this game.

With all it’s twists and turns.

It’s like a Salem witch hunt.

Help me ,please! It burns!

 

I just want to rest now.

I don’t want to play this game.

It’s turned into a labrynth.

Everything looks the same.

 

I don’t want to play anymore

This isn’t any fun

It’s all heartaches and teardrops

I quit this game! I’m done.

Games

Whatever game it is you have been caught up in Lacy I sincerely hope it is done as the poem suggests. Life is too short for such things. Its an engaging poem and there is hope reflected in its strength. Keith
