The Chess Game Begins

By Broken Rose

Why do i bother with this life anymore,
I'm so sick of being alive even if i do have things to live for,
I'm tired of seeing you,
You and that devilish smile,
Why would you be so cruel.

'Don't worry I'm here',
' I love you',
' I won't leave',
'I'm yours forever',
'How can i give up the girl of my dreams'.

Such beautiful lies you had told me,
I cant believe i was so stupid to believe them,
Why would someone ever do that,
Its just so cruel and mean as a matter of fact.

So enoughs enough you've ruined my game,
And this is where i start again,
I'm taking back whats rightfully mine,
My friends,
My heart,
And my life,

I'll do what it takes,
No matter the mistakes,
And ill take it back,
The life that you hacked.

So now i welcome you to my little game,
I must worn you though I've been playing for years,
So verse me if you dare but i wont go easy,
And ill sacrifice anyone in my path no matter how sleazy.

So its time i too make my move,
And it starts tomorrow you're debt is due,
Say good bye to the life you once knew,
And say hello to the girl that you never knew.

I'm tired of playing the innocent victim,
I'm tired of wearing this mask to fit in,
So I'm making my move and starting the game,
Just keep in mind i rule at this chess game.

    Beautiful , poetic and down right relatable! Absolutely love this poem its so out there and full of emotion. I feel the pain and anger but also sadness in this work, please be careful. Manipulating people into pawns on your chess board is a clever way to put together a poem its unique. Good job!

    it's very beautifull, yet painfull at the same time... tho as i usually like short poems, for once i wish one to be longer... it is very original and creative :)

  • A former member wrote: An awesome write. Full of change and power. We all wear masks at times. Shedding them takes bravery and strength.

  • A former member wrote: A creative poem that talks about rising and living yet again. A truly amazing piece.

  • A former member wrote: Another great write! It comes to show that trusting someone can be very difficult. And this work shows it. I see it as a double message. Its bad for him because he was trusted. But, now he can see the darkness he created in the other person who wants revenge. Nice.
