Scribbled

Move a few steps ahead—a life I have
Calculating
One mistake and it's all done
Life is a game of chess
A gamble willing to take
Manipulating
Shape the world with power in hand
Wanting more, losing a lot
Strategizing
Gain more and more and more
but at what cost?
A life? A love?
Seeking
Freedom from the shackles of darkness
When will I be free?
