I usually write a poem before the title. Like a book full of stories before they named it “The Bible”. Phase 1: I wrote my name and didn’t consider it as a gamble. One out of many as my identity scrambles. It’s a possibility that we met just on different channels. All game shows are the same just different panels Phase 2: Let’s meet and greet, then after enjoy my defeat. I’ll laugh on the inside trying to keep it discreet. Then again, I could be the loser. I tend to always jinx my own future. No smile on my face, I don’t see the humor. Lost in the game and laughed by the viewers No money in my pockets, just more for the producers. Good Game I guess! Phase 3: Am I a living contestant gambling with my life? Out to find a better version of me trying to survive. Money spent with confidence and carrying my pride. I play to win, aware of consequence, yet I’m still staying alive.
