The Losers

HomePoetryThe Losers
I think it’s time
To lay down the cards
I never was someone 
To call the bluff
There comes a day
When you have to face the dealer
Stop the game and say you played enough
 
I don’t have the will to keep on betting
I don’t have the strength to spend a dime
I don’t have the eyes to be a gambler
When I bet on the losers every time
 
I think it’s time
To get off the track
It’s too much to run
In every round
There comes a day
When they see your legs are broken
And then the bastards aim to put you down
 
I don’t have the shoes to keep on running
I’m too slow to keep up with the line
I don’t have the pace to be a gambler
When I run with the losers every time
 
I think it’s time
I see a new game of chance
I must admit 
I’m tempted by the win
There comes a day
You find a wheel of fortune
You can’t stop from giving it a spin
 
I don’t have the might to keep the cards down
I can’t stop the race running in my mind
I still have an ache to be the gambler
And I’ll stand with the losers every time.
