Poker face

I’ve got a full hand in the fold,

which includes a red hearted ace and a black diamond face,

I have to slow my pace but the river keeps flowing upstream,

I’m unable to bluff so my cards are exposed leaving me at the mercy of every other playing being,

the concealment has me acting like a feen,

even though I should know better as it’s a scene I’ve seen,

living my life through an entertainment screen has me as just a player,

my life’s experiences are coming to a grinding halt and I’ve realized I’ve been treating myself unfair,

the games I’ve played were cheated through and now I’m growing gray hair,

the dealer flips the last card and the true colors lay there bare in their entirety,

I can feel the pressure rise from the inside as the water starts to drown me,

my surroundings are becoming dim but I remember what I was told to see,

the light at the end of the tunnel shining bright for me,

so I take that advice and go all in,

and when it’s all said and done,

I’ll know it was my decision that made me win.
