You just lost it


There are 4 rules
1) Don't think about the game
2) Don't talk about the game
3)When you break rule one OR two you lose
4) When you lose you must tell one other person


There is no way to win
Only to lose
There is no point in trying
The point of the game is to get everyone in the world to
LOSE

You only fail if you fail to try
Keep trying.

and what use
is the memory
of your anatomy
but another
pocket of knowledge
memorized without
realization

another
imprint
that i cannot
scrub away
after
i have tested
and failed
even though
i knew
all of the
answers

Please, take your best guess
Palm readers have *tried
and failed
cause my fists are clenched

Yet, I fail.
From time to time, I will fail.
I try to minimize the failure,
                               To be the mind, and not the wind,
                               To be a kin, and not akin,
                               To be a friend, not a fiend.
But when we sail,
I'm not the sailor,
I am the tempest.
yet again, here i am.
Try harder, try harder
Your best isn't good enough
Keep pushing forward
Keep pushing
A song will show you the way up
Rain washes off
The ***** jokes
They've pulled on you
Now stop
Think what you have done

In a world full of hatred,
In a land so far and lost,
How can I withstand,
And what will it cost? 

A fire set brightly ablaze.
Flames; I'll feel them all.
Walking through the haze.
Shame; I'm about to fall.

Who thought he was in infallible
He always rejects the blame

Goes the girl
Who thought her heart was guarded
But whenever she heard his name

The boy was falling,
and slowly failing
With his naive mind
And nonchalant heart
He hopes for the best
But expects the worst
And lets things be
So he wont have to do his part

The girl was falling,
and slowly hurting
With her aching knees buckling
And her strong spirit crumbling
She thought she could be
His lone savior, his lone queen

F a l l i n g
went the girl through the sky
The atmosphere cutting against her skin
And he set her on fire
As she warmed up to him
Foolish play with sparks
Until he ran out of matches
And left her alone
Flames burned out
Glowering embers in the dark
We were both falling... only in opposite directions
