Name of the Game

Heart full of anger
With shouts of “I told you!”
From my minds callous mouth
As disappointment seeps through

One more ache
One more down
My heart hardens
I will not drown

You’re just another pawn
In life’s game of chess
You don’t know what you’re missing
You could have more, but choose less

Won’t bother me, it’s your own loss
I’m still in the game, I am the queen
There’s more to me than meets the eye
I’m not your average every day teen

Even when the game is in check
Giving up is far from my mind
No more hiding in the dark
No longer will I live my life blind

I’ll fight with my head held high
There’s no way you’re going to beat me again
Even if I have to sacrifice
This is a game that I’m going to win

Please tell me what you think

    I found the best part of this poem to be
    Even when the game is in check
    Giving up is far from my mind
    No more hiding in the dark
    No longer will I live my life blind...

    It shows that you've kept the faith
    And that your going to win
    Brilliantly penned...

    Wow, that was fantastic! I really liked
    You’re just another pawn
    In life’s game of chess
    You don’t know what you’re missing
    You could have more, but choose less

    It was a great idea of the game and the flow was brillant. I really liked this write and i hope you write more as well as this.

      thank you so much. I just wrote this quickly off the top of my head. I usually spend more time thinking my poetry through, but I wrote this on pure emotion.
