there comes a point in your life
when you struggle to understand
fight till you win
the game almost ending
before it has even started
there comes a point in your life
when you almost doubt your sanity
your palms all sweaty
your knuckles numb
from the endless clenching-unclenching
you see the rest of your life flash before your eyes
you feel your defenses crumbling
the wall you've worked so hard to build tumbling down
and even though you insist on not giving up
it's game over for you, pal
