Description It's almost a contest:
a need to go a little further,
dig a little deeper,

You know you can,
but you have prove it to yourself
over and over.

It's a game of chance:
never knowing how far you can go
without consequence,
never knowing the limit,
the point at which someone will finally break
and the cards all come crashing down

It's a dangerous gamble
and your pieces can easily slip off the board,
it's a risk,
a game of Russian Roulette
with a thrill to great to ignore.

You can walk away
or you can throw your life away
little by little
until there is nothing left to lose.

The game has to end eventually,
and it's not a matter of luck,

it's a matter of time.

those r some strong werds...
they sound like they have a lot of feeling and meaning behind them..
to me i got that the game was life... thats wat i got from the poem,
but everyone gets different meanings from poems
as u well kno,
i dont kno why u dont like the end
i think it fits well.... and the way i read it it had meaning and flow,
a good ending to a great poem
definlaty faving this

really? you like it? Aw, that makes me feel better. I really didn't like the ending, but I guess no one else thinks so.

yeah, it has some real meaning. I guess life could be the game, I see it more like life is literally the game, and winning could either mean life, or death. but it's a much more complicated poem from my point of view.
