I KID YOU NOT

Of all the prized possessions I keep,
Freedom is the closest to me...
Expression in action and not just in thoughts..
Boy did I bruise? You bet! I lost count..

I played what felt like was best,
With cards I was dealt with...
Felt like a rookie in every new game
Retrospect...a lot could've changed
While in the moment..things are never sane..

Hear me now.. and hear me clear...

When you see regret showing its face
Dust off your pants and pull back your mane.
That's the best you could've done
Given the uncertainty of this game.

You played well...I KID YOU NOT!
Regret makes you live in past,
Focus on NOW that is all you got..
Curtains are drawn on role play of past

Your current role is all you got!
Don't sweat the bruises
only a player gets them all.
Be rather a player
than a by stander in stall.

Your game has improved
you better not stop..
You shall play very well..
I KID YOU NOT..!!!
