a game

are you feeling ok, today?
I know it hurts,
but it's been worse,
at times,
when all has left you blind

you can see through it,
I promise you...
just close your eyes
and count to one,
count to comfort,
and count to home

it's only pain,
one of life's cruel games,
you don't even
have to play,
if you don't want to...
but the more you hide,
the more you fall,
the more you know,
that this is a game,
you must win
