Life is like a chess game
Against a sadistic genius
Every move has repercussions
That I don't see as traps
Methodically she takes away
Everything I hold dear
And leaves me in a position
That is unrecoverable
There comes a time in every game
When the ending looms apparent
Now I lose my Queen
I am well and truly forked

I love the comparison of life to a chess game - I've made that comparison often myself and I always find myself wondering why I seem to play the knight that always wants to help but can only move a few steps in each direction.

Don't know anything about chess but, I don't need to know to understand this.
We are all pawns in each other's games. Most people don't even realize they are playing....
Good stuff, Schley. xoxo

I like chess so I enjoyed this...esspecially "well and truly forked" lol. Isn't it funny how women seem to know the moves about 4 steps ahead of us??? I'm just a pawn trying not to get captured and taken off the board..:)Snake
