Cards in hand,

Faces stilled.

Ancient rules

And hardened wills.

Fighting death,

Not by choice.

Lost my breath

Found my voice.

Time is short,

Make your move.

Ticking clock

Time to prove

Who you are,

Where you’ve been,

Where you’ll go

Before the end.

Close your eyes

Breathe it in.

Feel it rise

To the brim.

Victory

Close at hand,

Draw the line

In the sand.

Now it’s time.

Finish him.

End the game.

Smile and win.
