I’m turning over a new leaf <br />A new deck of cards <br />Setting up new goals, <br />Reaching for the stars. <br /> <br />Running for a better me, <br />Never looking back <br />Acquiring the things <br />That I seem to lack. <br /> <br />Belittling the stale me <br />Sweeping up the old <br />Here comes my poker face, <br />I’m not going to fold. <br /> <br />In my hand <br />Is the key to the future <br />Full house, full mind <br />Reminiscing every feature. <br /> <br />Transparencies fading away <br />Unknowingly being known <br />Tomorrow may be brighter <br />Reaping what I’ve sown. <br /> <br />Laying my cards on the table, <br />Betting all that is mine <br />All the jokers have been used, <br />I’m going to win this time.<br /><br />Lizzy Scott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/throwing-in-the-chips/
