"Deal"

"Deal"

Unrehearsed silence giving up the ghost, to what end? With a stinging spear of hurtfulness right to the heart.
The deep penetrating gaunt eyes that strip your soul bare, they gnaw at your very bones until anguish is all you feel. 
Have you ever wondered my dear friend why you feel the way you do? Can blame be apportioned? Will death be the reward? 
There is much more you can gaze upon, look at life, look all around you, do you not see the glorious splendour of what you are, what you can become? 
It's acheviable because you aim for it, without goals you are nothing. 
Life can spin a web of lies and deceit, a web of intrigue, the small insignificant insect caught within is just as important as the spinner. 
The sadness of self doubt will surely deal you a fateful blow, a bruise in the head or a bruise in the heel, it's your doing my dear friend. 
Don't toss a coin to decide, you will need a five sided coin because hey let's face it, heads or tails won't do it for you, will it? 
You won't accept the finale, you'll be asking for another chance, ah but you don't get a second chance with life, we all know that. 
You might get a second chance with choices, which is what I am saying, don't throw your hand in at the first attempt if you pull out a joker, deal your hand again, become the dealer, no cheating though. 
A shuffle of your ideals is all it takes, one card at a time is all you need to do, play the game safe, play the game honestly for that's how winners are made...NO MORE BETS THANK YOU!!
