My LIfe as a Chess Game

June 18, 2008

Destined and Designed
Motivated and Moved
Pushed and Positioned
My Life is a Chess Game
I am the pawn
As for you,
You are the royal line.
The King
You fill my life with orders,
and choices.
Using me, forcing me
To do your dirty work for you
It doesnt matter if I live or die
You'll just send another to
fill my place.
Your only goal is to
destroy the enemy
and anyone that gets in
your way
And me? I am
disposable. You need me
and when your done so am I.
You'll gladly sacrifice me
to achieve your goal
I know your plan and I
know that I am just a toy in this game
I am not even a real player
But I can't escape
No matter how hard I try
You still control me.
Maybe because I am not
suppose to think this way
Maybe because you are
smarter than me
Or maybe because I am just the pawn
And my only goal is to acheive yours.
