Life is just like a game of poker
My opponents surround me with stares
None of them can be trusted
I narrow my eyes with painful gaze

We all throw a piece of our lives
Into the center of the table
All of us gaze at the prize
Hunger striking our eyes

I hold on to my fate of cards
Analyze them like a situation encountered in life
My fate lies in my poker face

Have i had them fooled?
Or am i the laugh of the game

They watch me
Lustfully in wait for what i have in store
Each poker face different
Each one, a different victory

Life is surrounded by chance
Each individual sweats up a little
No one knows what the other has in store
As a game of poker remains compared to my life

The cards are laid down
My smiles grow bigger
I lay mine down
The game is mine

The chips fly onto my corner
My opponents stare blankly
My poker face fools everyone
In the game of life..
