You heat the expression life is a game all the time
But if life is a game
What's our story?
What's our tale?
Why is it that my character always fails?
Why is it how is it that we have emotions from what I can see,
how could we just be pixelated images on a glowing screen?
how can we care and have so many different beliefs?

But if life is a game what is education,
why does our story start out slow,
why does it take so many years for our characters to grow?
Why are there 7.122 billion characters on this planet,
or software,
or GPU, or RAM,
why is it si hard to understand,
the meaning of life
the reason we live
why we reproduce and generate kids?
Why does nobody know how to win,
this game,
this RPG called life,
this scenery called earth
Why can I not figure out what I am worth,
what place I take in this world, whether I am important or not?

Our government is the fine print in the terms and conditions,
the government is what interrupts peoples missions.
Are they the enforcement team,
or are they a glitch in the system?
What Easter eggs are they hiding, what secrets do they hold,
Do they have any kind of cheat code?

Or maybe life a board game,
are we the pieces or the dice,
maybe each of us is a dice and needs to find our pair,
and play that game together rolled at once at the same time,
and we decide the outcomes of the game we decide the fate,
our decisions combined
equal the moves we take,
the steps we make,
and even the rules we decide to follow or break,
but if each one needs a pair where's my pair,
when will it roll on to my board
when can we make decisions in our game of life together?

Maybe life is a game,
But if life is a game describe love to me,
What is love,
what is love in this game of life?

I am a gamer and I've always heard the expression life is a game but I never really understood the meaning behind that expression and decided to write about it and really enjoyed this piece.
