WANNA BET?

Chips on the table
No alibis
Facing the truth
The cards never lie.

A roll of the dice
Some low and some high
A bet and a gamble
You just have to try.

Anxious, elated
Your fingers now crossed
So devastated
The times that you lost. 

Over and over
Again and again
No way you could stop it
So sure you would win. 

You lost your shirt
Your self respect
You took a chance
You placed the bet.

You know it’s a risk
But, you’d do it again
Given the chance
You’d go for the win.

An addiction, a habit
A sickness, disease
The desire to take chances
An obsession, a need.

The height of the moment
The thrill and the rush
Winner takes all
But, it’s never enough.
