PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I'm much too tired to go on like this,

The will to fight, in me, is gone.

I can't see past the pain anymore,

Or the reason in holding on.



I'm not much of a betting-person,

But now, I think I'll let it all ride.

I'll count my losses and leave the table,

Once again on the loosing side.



All my chips are down now,

Its a gamble I'll willing to take.

My very life is in the pot,

Of this wager I will stake.



Its always been a long-shot,

That I'd come out even, at least.

I'd venture this is just my luck,

For me, the chance has ceased.



Life has dealt me a mighty cruel hand,

And its time I fold and run.

This game has lost its intrest to me,

So I'll just cash-in...and be done.
