Checkmate

I threw a lit match and walked away,

Burning down all what was at play.

I don’t like games, so I cut the cord,

I plant myself in the middle of the board.

And claim my stance, that I’m not playing,

I turn to God and instead get praying.

I’m not at all lying when I say;

I don’t like this game, I don’t want to play.

Why can’t you go by the rules you teach?

You can’t even practise what you preach.

I don’t see the point of playing pretend,

I love who I am and want to ascend.

You obviously do too, you want the growth,

Well listen to this, I swear under oath.

I am the challenge to your games next level,

I am your mirror, to awaken your devil.

Now reach inside and touch your soul,

Don’t fight me, fight him, the true asshole.
