I Did It Again by Dfrenzy(m): 5:58pm On Feb 10, 2016 |
Yesterday, I lost hugely again It has been like this on daily For the past 4 months "I will never play again" Again, I vowed for the up tenth time But this time, my soul felt the conviction Gambling can never be my addiction Last night, laying on my bed My pillow under my head My heart was filled with regrets and, I felt the tears poured inside Regrets! All the monies I have wasted Monies that could have accomplish a purpose A purpose either for myself, my mom, my sister, or brother I slept, I dreamt I was having a nice time at the dinning table with my family. I woke up feeling relieved. "At least, I don finally stop am" I said to myself. I went about my daily business hopefully, And silently praying that the Lord Give me the grace to recover my losses In due time Business was kind of slow today, A couple of customers came to pay up their debts I was idle "An idle mind is the devil workshop" So they say My idle mind is a WAR ZONE. That I know "Why be a coward and give up? Just because of some In cure losses? How many years of hard labour in this business is it going to take before finally achieving your dreams? But, if I go back to that bet shop, I have a higher chance of loosing and end up having regrets. Abeg abeg, all die na die. Beside, if I don't try my luck, how am I suppose to quickly recover my losses? " With that final resolve, I stepped out of my shop Locked the entrance gate And heading to my doom. |

How come I got just one comment? That means, the story was not captivating. |
