PLAY

How many more tries till you learn your lesson?
Wasted too much precious time stressing,
Keep forgetting we only have one life to live.
Easy to forget to count your blessings.

Or for that matter, why continue settling,
And resort to spending all your energy.
A never ending journey thinking,
What more can i give?
When will it be my turn to live?

Giving it your all to eventually find,
All this precious time.
Spent merely on a playtime.
Like a toddlers toys, wrecked in piles, used,
Thrown aside like yesterdays news.

Can't figure out why you don't love you.
Bottom line, honest truth,
It's lose lose.
What grudge are you holding onto?

Does it look like I'm laughing or amused
Sick and tired of these games, what's the use?
Stuck surrounded by less than I deserve,
Because I couldn't muster up the courage or nerve.

No longer must I be confused,
Heart is all but beaten and bruised.
As a child has tossed me around for fun,
It made him so happy...but momentarily.
But that can't possibly be fair to me,
Please spare a little energy,
Pretty please?
No more tantrums,
I just can't handle em.

Mustn't shield myself in fear falling, or getting cut,
Or waiting around, enough is enough.
Child's play...too old for this.
Goodbye, have yourself some fun,
This time I have the upper hand.
If this is how it's gonna be,
Honey it's you I don't need.
