"Life is Like a Game of Chess"

 My poem is about how life is similar to a game of chess. My inspiration for my poem is I always sit and think about how life is played like a game of chess. The theme of my poem is life is what you make it. 

Life is like a Game of Chess,
When we first play, we have no success
unless we less from the best 

We never know what happens next, 

so we continue to guess, not knowing what move to make

and with every move we make, a consequence sits awake

Just like a game of chess, 

we are always competing with our mind,

restricting our thoughts, sometimes impedes thinking outside the box

limiting the chances of advancing

dwelling on the thought creates a fear

blocking the mind of any thought to prevail

always diving head first, instead of planning

unbeknown of the game at hand and your opponent 

but for one to succeed, it takes time and patience

knowing the station and its position,

and in the end, some succeed and some do not

but it is just apart of the game of life
