Games are played without consent
Riddles given but not a hint
suspicions pleading to the questions they present
to be fullfilled is their intent.
Tricks and traps played and laid
seeking the answers that evade
compassion absent and mercies fade
the price that's owed will be what's paid
Conquest will be the fine reward
to watch the vanquished crawl once more
to drag his knees across the floor
his spirits fall but theirs will soar.
To bring him down again in shame
how dare he challenge with this game
shackled now with guilt and sorrow
too down and low to face the morrow
Depression brings down it's heavy hand
too hard to run through sinking sand
though once a runner in the race
hopes and dreams were his to chase
he now surrenders with disgrace
brought back down to take his place
without the wings that gave him flight
the tunnel that once had shone it's light
grows dark and dim as endless night
with the loss of will to fight.

Win they must and damn the cost
the fee is paid by those who lost.

It was 4 years ago but I believe these were my motivations.
Depression, guilt, feelings of failure and betrayal
