I'M Still Me

Laid my cards on the table Stared empty and numbed As he made a move to deal The risk too high I succumbed To the jagged sorrow I feel. Stayed with resolve that I am A warrior from birth with no fear Stood with the grit of all I have Bled out the nagging scars But I won't be kneeling here. Tossed the dice and took the cost Turned with a shrug and a grin The game may be over and may be a loss Not all days are rainy so I'm playing I am still me, sorry there's no caving in.
