you can make yourself a fool
by so many ways
silly ways,
ridiculous ways,
agonizing
but still beautiful ways
eventually you just
always end up wondering
why did you
do it again
thought too much
hoped the world
believed in yourself
more than appropriate
and as
time goes by
and you continue
to gain none
and loose all
you just
have to remember
that you can
never hit the jackpot
if you don't play the game.
