"Lose', #by spknhues. Written for #losinggame_pai -a Friday poetry prompt created by @poetsanonymousink. Hope you all enjoy the submission! _________________________ We play the gane… We stand to lose, The risk comes with the path we choose: The pleasure of sweet victory, Or swallow bitter agony. Unknown to me was true intent, With so much time and effort spent; I played the fool, I rolled the dice… And snake eyes would betray me twice. My inner peace, my sense of pride… I'd quickly shunned, and cast aside… For seizure, conquer, and destroy, in games, by one with childish ploy For, games of heart, are games of chance… Avoidable in circumstance; My heartbreak, now a lesson learned… A penny saved, a penny earned." ____________________________ #writings #writingprompts #poetscorner #writingcommunityofinstagram #creatives #storyteller #heartbroken #loss #losinggame #writerslife #poetryisnotdead #poetryislife https://www.instagram.com/p/ChdWhS5JLah/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
