Play No More

Play No More

A Poem by Merancapeman
"

A simple song.

"
I don't know where to move myself
Unless it's where I'm told
It's hard to see how young I am
When everything is old
No one seems to see just how
I struggle with my goals
I quit
I'm done
I'm finished here
I play this game no more.

I've watched the others play along
They seem to find their stride
And when they're lost they find their way
Like cycles of the tide
I wish I may and wish I might,
No matter how I've tried
I quit
I'm done
I'm finished here
I play this game no more.

Sometimes I think I'm better now
And stand up tall and true
You'd never think a man like me
Had ever felt that blue
But long before I leave the room
I find it's all untrue
And all of this is just a game
That I will play no more.

Through this tinted window pane
My pity here to stay
I watch and wait for someone there
To help me run away
But no one there will want to help
Someone who cannot play
I quit
I'm done
I'm finished here
I play this game no more.

There was a time I had the strength
To open up the door
But now I cannot tell apart
The ceiling from the floor
And in this darkened prison cell
Forgotten what I'm for
I quit
I'm done
I'm finished here
I play this game no more.
