The world around is a cruel one

With many a lie to tell

But the pain I feel around me

Shows me so much more

There are people like you and I

Who just want to smile too

But sadly forgot how

We are here

Not as people

Not as pawns

Not as a cruel joke

But as a reason to keep going

To keep fighting

To fear

To laugh

To cry

To love

So please

When you feel it is the end

Just look at your hand

And call lifes bluff

Because this is your hand

And it's not a bad one

Just sit back and smile

Because no one knows

You've got the winning hand

It's up to you

To either Fold

Or go ALL IN

Because your hand

Will always

And I mean always

Be better than someone elses
