Tragedy
January 28, 2015
Blinding light hits my eyes
It’s an arena, my fate it will decide
To each his own
There is no place to hide
I walk alone,
scared but strong
The lights fade out
I am a pawn
Dancing and twirling,
a fake smile on my face
I know, I know, once I fall down
another will take my place
Never ending ladders
It’s a race to the top
Do or die
Below is a plummeting drop
Broken souls lay littered
Break or be broken, it’s the strategy
After all,
reality is the tragedy
