Dice at hand, I Stand!

I am living the dip of my heart line – about to incline:
The derailment of thought, downsizing my social circle.
The influence of voice, a matter of the world beyond.
The actions – preparations of tomorrow, an intention of today.

I am late, I presume, in this game of life,
With so much glitter – in reality, the clutter.
Rules book laid in clear sight – never touched!
I see the ruins of winners who strayed,
Rolling in luxury, the ones who failed,
As for those who truly win – do not glitter, appear clutter.
The path of losers, my heart yearns.
The path of winners, mind detests.
A decision to make, dice at hand, I stand.

Claim my ancestry or become a sparkly fraud?
The world accepts the latter, disregards the former.
Which road to choose?
The one with money, luxury, manipulation – this world!
OR, the one dull, opposing, simple, the world beyond?
A decision to make, dice at hand, I stand.

Continuing all false, intoxicating delusions,
Or stepping into truth, with bitter reality,
Leaving fun, my heart yearns?
A decision to make, dice at hand, I stand.
