I don't want to know these things I know,
So tell me can you make them go...away
or are they here to stay?
The weight of this is overbearing
I've grown to hate the mask I'm wearing
and these games I'm forced to play.
I'm losing anyway!
You're sucking the life out of me,
And I'm not sure why I should be...here
Why don't I disappear?
Not easier said than done,
A brand new game has just begun.
And the rules have been changed.
Isn't that strange.
You're the epicene of misery.
Hopefully soon I'll be...disqualified.
The last thing on my mind is pride.
I don't care if I lose or win,
Please don't make me play again.
Author notes
Some people don't take relationships seriously enough. It's more than a game sometimes, it's straight mental abuse. No guy or girl should ever put up with it. Don't wait to be 'disqualified'. Just straight up quit.
Any ideas for a better title?

I love this. You are so right. A lot of the time people play the dating 'game' and think that it doesn't matter because it's their life. But their forgetting about the person they are 'playing' with. What about their feelings? Doesn't it matter if they get hurt? Not to them, they only care about themselves. So it's better to quit them before they quit you, let them see how they like it. Great write.

The words here in your poem are so true. Somehow my advice is never taken: Just walk out, go to a motel, come here for awhile. I can give you numbers where there is help. No dice, advice never taken. It does never cease and get better. I am sorryonly counts in the game of horseshoes.

Very good, very real and very sad. And yes that's truth. Some people REALLY don't take relationships seriously. You just have to believe in yourself and try to go on. Great job! Love it.
Keep writing

Wow this is amazing ans s true the weight of this is overbearing i've grown to hate the mask i am wearing people are abused and they dont even know it this totally describes life i love it it is great

This is excellent. You are very wise. You have expressed painful emotions in a way that many can relate to and learn from. There are so many people out there who feed on the game itself, and those people are emotional leeches "sucking the life out" of others. Love the idea of quitting before being disqualified. Great write!

You are right. i think that you if you know it is not worjking out just get out. You will save yourself a lot of pain later. But Sis You are great person . Anyonw would be glad to have you as a girlfriend. You are great person.hang in there. And I know you will find someone that deserve you.But this write was good. You express yourself rom the heart and you poured your heart out here. great job. your brother Joe.

I love your poem...however some people stay not r/t "they avoid being alone" in some peoples assumptions they need to broaden the brain....

"A brand new game has just begun.
And the rules have been changed."
Some people look at life and relationships as games, and they give little thought to the unfeeling cruelty and uncaring they leave in their wake. That's why we have to take control of our own lives, not give others so much power over how and what we feel. So, if you feel you are being dishonored in a relationship, get out of it and move on. Like you said ... "Don't wait to be 'disqualified'. Just straight up quit."
Don't fall into the trap where you accept being treated badly, just to avoid being alone. Because the truth of the matter is eventually they will probably leave anyway ... you'll just suffer a lot more pain in the meantime, but will be left with the same result.
You've given some good advice here Twilight! Hopefully, your words to help someone who needs to hear them.
Love, Grandma
