Poker face



I've started it so many times,
but I've never finished it.

Because I haven't found one person
worth telling the whole thing to.

So I tell you a little.
Maybe you feel privileged that I've shared this with you.

But this is just a fragment, one tiny particle,
of the story of my life.

Maybe I'd tell you all of it.
If you cared to sit and listen awhile.

But then again,
in poker you must keep your cards close to your chest.

And what is life, really,
if not one big game of poker?

  1. oh yea! I always believed we are all born to be actors. We are not supposed to reveal everything about ourselves. I find beauty in privacy :)

  2. Good post. I see life’s poker game as you have to know when to hold’em and when to fold’em… ;-) (Basically, knowing yourself, or your hand, is most important aspect of the game.)
