Everybody’s Happy (except for me)

All this time
I've thought I have been cheating death,
Life has been cheating me.
It hasn't been treating me 
Instead it has been defeating me
Beating me and hating me.
Berating me, deflating me
and making me its bitch.

Taking its time 
torturing me,
but fortunately
this game has a clock on it's scoreboard
for when life gets bored it can look up
at the shutout it has against me
and see the seconds tick away
knowing it has played its best best game ever
and I wasn't a worthy adversary.
