Game of Life

I have played the game of life; I have tried and failed to win
I have taken advantage of those who I’d loved and had no remorse for hurting them
I have spoken lies to the gullible and treated them with shame
I have cried alone for all the innocent people who I’ve caused tremendous pain
I have fought to find happiness but ended up slipping further below
I could never cure the sadness because I couldn't let my past go
I have lived my life building a wall so that no one would know the real me
I find myself crying out for help but no one hears my stridency
I no longer want to live this life for I have out lived my time
When the sun sets tomorrow I will end this life of mine
I ask of you only one request, learn from my pain and move on
Please understand that you are better off now with me being gone
