The games we play
by

An interesting thought has popped into my head
Where would your life be without me?
I guide your every move without you even realizing it
I made you
I shaped you to the very image of my choosing
Yet you’re an "individual"
A "self-reliant" person
One, who doesn't need me in their life
You don’t need me you say...
Yet you are nothing without me
I protected you
Even from yourself
Who will keep your demons at bay now that you are alone...
Once again.
Who will protect you from all you try to hold inside
The secrets you hide from the world around you.
Will the world you so gallantly walk through
Consume you before your very eyes
Will that open your eyes to what the world really holds for you?
Will you falter?
Even a little?
Or will your choices finally come crashing down on you?
