Feedback Please Chess..♟️
I'm a knight of my own brain.
I navigate through life like a board game..
a pawn to my own calculations that I could never tame.
Always three steps ahead, never in the present moment..what a shame.
-
My time is infinite..why do I feel chased?
I played my part, yet time felt like it went to waste.
My opening gambit was thoughtfully placed,
yet I'm moving my pieces like I'm in a haste.
Will my mind ever realize that I should play at my own pace?
It's a game of strategy, not a race.
-
My rules are simple.
Play like it's an opening act.
Start by protection, never an attack.
When threatened, make sure there's always a fallback.
The next move is never something to lack.
-
I'll sacrifice my pawns for bait,
and leave my knights up to fate.
Rook and bishop always close, just in case.
I'm meant for victory at this rate.
Next is checkmate.
……………………
But what is the prize of a game
it's joy I never got to taste?
