367. Our Life's Deck Poem by Jaden Knight

367. Our Life's Deck



At birth we are given a full pack of cards
to be used or played
as we travel through life
some play as if it's a competition
others as if it is a game

So many decks are stacked
so it seems that it's all unfair
but want you do with a bad hand
can define who you are

Many try to get by with bluffing
making out their two is a king
but when it comes to the final reveal
the liars are shown for what they are

I'm not brilliant gambler
but I must play the hand I am dealt
at least until I clear my deck
or if I give up and fold
