Snake Eyes

I roll the dice
In the game of life
And I realize that you can never win
The worst has yet to come

Two ones, I tell myself
The worst possible outcome
But was it?
It could have been worse, I said

Perhaps, the dice could have got abducted by aliens
And the result would never have been clear to me
Because I'd never be there
To see it

Or I would slip and fall
I'd go to the hospital
Maybe in a coma
And I'd surely never see
How the dice would roll

It's the feeling that hurts me the most-
But it also brings me the most hope
For the future

I think I'm better off
Just forgetting about it
Because I'm not any more than itself

It's easier said than done
And now that I'm in debt
In the game of life,
It's hard to finish it in its entirety

And in reality,
The best outcome would be to
Have never rolled the dice
In the first place.
