Madness: Now Served in Black and White!

Pawn

After spending most of my life as

A mere pawn in this brutal game

I’ve come to accept as Love,

I have had a breakthrough.

A revelation, if you please.

I know the rules just as well

As those assumed to be superior to me.

While I may have yet to win a match,

I’ve played my fair share of games,

And know the general course

And favorite plays.

 I would be a fool to fail to recognize

That I can rise above this pitiful state

I’ve allowed myself to be in for all these years.

I am just as smart

Just as fast

Just as strong as my competitors.

I am too smart to let myself lose another round.

No, this match,

I am in control.
