The Game

The Game

A Poem by Melanie Jane Boicourt Shanks

 

The thoughts we think, the things we say,

have already been said in another way.

The pictures we paint, the poems we write,

have already been seen in another sight.

The things we do, the dreams we dream,

have all been wrote down in another theme.

Winning the game is a state of mind.

If you look inside yourself you'll find

the confidence to get you through.

The object of the game is being you.

 

M.J.S.

Thank u Thank u Thank u..this is soo true this is something i think of all the time..i thought i was the only one who thought this way..people say that i am thinkin negative when i say this but it is sooo true..there is no way that these words that i write are orignal..my thoughts arent even original..someone has thought of them before..even if they didnt write it down they have thought of it..this is a relization that i think everyone should come to..because i think its easier to ecept than it is to hide from..i mean if we accept it then maybe we can try harder to find our own style and our own way to do things..i appreciate this piece for its humble honesty..i dont even need to re-write the part that i liked to this one because i loved it all...and i really whole heartedly enjoyed it...
Well From One Word-Play Poet To The Next...Always Remember To Write With Your Heart!
